Intersections; right and left turns
Sec. 21. (a) A person who drives a vehicle intending to turn at an
intersection must do the following:
(1) Make both the approach for a right turn and a right turn as
close as practical to the right-hand curb or edge of the roadway.
(2) Make an approach for a left turn in that part of the right half
of the roadway nearest the center line of the roadway. After
entering the intersection, the person who drives a vehicle must
make the left turn so as to leave the intersection to the right of
the center line of the roadway being entered.
(3) Make an approach for a left turn from a two-way street into
a one-way street in that part of the right half of the roadway
nearest the center line of the roadway and pass to the right of
the center line where the center line enters the intersection.
(4) Make a left turn from a one-way street into a two-way street
by passing to the right of the center line of the street being
entered upon leaving the intersection.
(5) Where both streets or roadways are one way, make both the
approach for a left turn and a left turn as close as practicable to
the left-hand curb or edge of the roadway.
(b) The Indiana department of transportation and local authorities
in their respective jurisdictions may cause markers, buttons, or signs
to be placed within or adjacent to intersections requiring and
directing that a different course from that specified in this section be
traveled by vehicles turning at an intersection. When markers,
buttons, or signs are placed under this subsection, a person who
drives a vehicle may not turn the vehicle at an intersection other than
as directed and required by the markers, buttons, or signs.
