Are you obliged to enter the right traffic lane after changing direction to the left?

Explanation

Correct answer: No

According to the regulations, when turning left onto a carriageway with two or more lanes in one direction, you may occupy any of those lanes. In the situation shown, you are entering such a road, which has at least two lanes in the same direction. Therefore, immediately after completing the manoeuvre, you are not obliged to occupy the right-hand lane.
