right hand turning when there are two right turn lanes?

Ya guy. Southie is no joke. Even in my single axle class b tank, sometimes I gotta hop a curb due to those random pop up construction gigs. Such is the life of a boston drivah

 

I drive in NYC and do whatever I gotta do

 

Here are a few right hand turns. Hazmat load so must stop and look both ways at RR Tracks 1, 2 and 3.

Keep in mind that you must continue across tracks without shifting or stopping. But stopping at 3 will leave most of track 2 blocked with your trailer. Track 2 has the faster commuter trains.

Wow guy. Looks fun

 

The right answer is both lanes! All of the time!

A truck and full size trailer will need at least 4 lanes to make the turn. If you don't block off and occupy both lanes at all times you will find some A--hole car driver will put there car where you truck and trailer is going to occupy. Then you get to run over them and end your carrier short, or if you are good you just are to blame for a traffic jam while the A--hole figures out how to move car. However it may take hours for that to happen.

As I said you need four lanes so take two and occupy two now before some car gets in the wrong spot. How you do it may depend on traffic but do so now before the corner. If you take the inside some car will try to swing around you as drive out to clear the trailer. If you take the outside cars will crowed the inside line where you trailer needs to go.

Now I am not suggesting being rude about it. If traffic is light, set up in the inside lane and let traffic pass long before the corner. If traffic is heavy forget about it, occupy both lanes completely from the start, you will wait forever and be more at risk waiting. At a stop sign or light have the tractor occupy the outside turn lane and the trailer block off the inside entirely.

If you are talking "buttonhook" or "jug handle" please get what you are talking about right. Most of the time most people have the terms confused let alone the application so I try to keep those terms out of the discussion.

 

Right turn.. right lane always

 

Just caught my co driver using the right lane and didn't bother to check if there were vehicles in the outside lane.

Stopped here at the service plaza and there was a highway patrol sitting here and I asked him about it. He said use the outside lane but still responsible if hitting a vehicle in the inside lane.
