Lane selection and position in your lane

Chapter 5: Highways and Freeways › Lane selection and position in your lane · printed page 70 (PDF page 72)

Lane selection and position in your lane Most major roadways and highways are divided into lanes, with lines on the road surface to indicate where your vehicle should travel and the rules of lane driving that you should follow. Choose the lane that best meets your needs for safety and getting to your destination. Plan ahead. Do not leave lane changes to the last minute. When a roadway has been divided into lanes by visible marking lines on the road surface, you should drive in the centre of your lane.
