Left turns and left-turn lanes
MTO Driver’s Handbook: Safe and Responsible Driving, Left turns; Left-turn lanes
Unless signs or pavement markings tell you not to, always begin and end a left turn in the far left lane in your direction. To make a left turn, signal well before the turn and move into the far left lane when the way is clear. Look ahead, behind, left, right and left again and check your blind spots. Make your turn when the way is clear.
