We're back with another Thursday Traffic Education segment!

🚦 Did you know that it is illegal to drive in a two-way left turn lane for more than 200 feet? (Did you know it's called a "two-way left-turn lane"?) 🚦

The two-way left-turn lane, commonly called the center lane, the dead lane, or any other number of turning-lane related phrases, is governed in Louisiana by LRS 32:83. It states that the lane is not to be driven in for more than 200 feet, whether making a left turn off of the roadway or having just turned onto the roadway and waiting to merge into traffic. Furthermore it states that the lane is not to be driven in for more than 200 feet prior to entering a designated turn lane, like the one pictured (the white dotted lines.)

That means that in smooth-flowing traffic conditions, it is ideal to wait until the lane becomes the designated turning lane you need before entering. If the blue car seen here wish to turn at the intersection but entered the center lane from its present location, it would potentially block (or hit) the red car, which is also attempting to make a left turn. Until the yellow strip becomes a white dotted line, the center lane is for use by vehicles on both sides of the roadway and should be treated as such. Plus, in the event of backed up traffic, entering the turning lane too early may cause a collision with a person ahead of you who is entering the turning lane at the proper time.

Furthermore, if a third vehicle had entered the center lane from a side street and continued to drive in the lane while waiting for the opportunity to merge onto the roadway, it could have potentially struck the red or the blue cars.

In summary, keep your time and distance in the two-way left-turn lane to a minimum. And if traffic is backed up in the regular lanes of travel, do not use the two-way left-turn lane as your personal HOV lane to reach a left turn a mile up the road. 👀

As always, work these tips into your daily driving if you don't already, and stay tuned for next week's traffic PSA.

Did you know my services are free to you? I don’t charge for my 30 years of knowledge and experience, nor do I charge for the amazing service we provide after the policy is written. The commission we earn, from the insurance carrier, is built into the premiums. You don’t get a different price when going direct to the carrier. In fact, you get someone working for THEIR company instead of working for YOU. Who do you think answering the phone is going to look out for? The company they work for, or you? Think about that for a second.

Agents like me are under attack. Not necessarily in the great state of Louisiana but all over the US. Insurance carriers don’t want to pay agents for the work we do because ‘they have too much business and made too much money’ during open enrollment. Are you kidding me? We brought that business to you!

We need to shed light on this issue and stand up for our industry. I am proud to stand with and fight to keep doing what I love. If you are an insurance agent and not part of the Association, what are you waiting for? If we don’t fight now, it may be too late next year. Join the only Association fighting for agent commissions today!
