Can one make a right turn at the intersection if there is a right turn slip lane?
<p>If someone didn't see the right turn slip lane in time, could they make a right turn at the intersection? </p>

<p>I'd like to know whether this is legal in California.</p>

<p>Well, I decided to look into this myself, and here's what I found:</p>
<p>California Vehicle Code 22100a:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Right Turns. Both the approach for a right-hand turn and a right-hand
turn shall be made as close as practicable to the right-hand curb or
edge of the roadway except:</p>
<p>(1) Upon a highway having three marked
lanes for traffic moving in one direction that terminates at an
intersecting highway accommodating traffic in both directions, the
driver of a vehicle in the middle lane may turn right into any lane
lawfully available to traffic moving in that direction upon the
roadway being entered.</p>
<p>(2) If a right-hand turn is made from a one-way
highway at an intersection, a driver shall approach the turn as
provided in this subdivision and shall complete the turn in any lane
lawfully available to traffic moving in that direction upon the
roadway being entered.</p>
<p>(3) Upon a highway having an additional lane or
lanes marked for a right turn by appropriate signs or markings, the
driver of a vehicle may turn right from any lane designated and marked
for that turning movement.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>In this scenario,</p>
<p>(1) doesn't apply because it's not a one-way street ending at a T intersection.</p>
<p>(2) also doesn't apply because it's not a one-way street.</p>
<p>(3) says that to turn right from a lane that is not closest to the right curb, there must be signs or markings. In this case, there are no signs or markings, meaning that it is illegal to turn from the inner lane.</p>
