<p>Is this a legal turn in Oregon? The single lane road is a private driveway and the two lane road is Highway 101.</p>
<p>What about California?</p>

<h2>Yes</h2>
<p><a href="https://www.oregon.gov/odot/forms/dmv/37.pdf" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Oregon</a></p>
<blockquote>
<p>Double solid yellow line – Indicates passing is not allowed for both directions of traffic. You may turn left, to enter or exit a roadway, across double solid yellow lines after waiting for oncoming traffic to clear.</p>

<blockquote>
<p>Two solid yellow lines indicate no passing. Never drive to the left of these lines unless you are:</p>
<ul>
<li>Turning left across a single set of double yellow lines to enter or exit a driveway or private road, or make a U-turn.</li>
</ul>
</blockquote>
<p>More broadly, this is the rule in every jurisdiction I’ve ever driven in. Multiple countries in four continents.</p>
