What is the proper position to begin a right turn?

To begin a right turn properly, the vehicle should be positioned sufficiently away from the curb. Positioning the vehicle about 3 feet from the curb allows for safe navigation around the turn. This distance enables adequate clearance from any obstacles that may be nearby, such as parked vehicles or pedestrians who might be at the curb.

Starting the turn too close to the curb could lead to potential hazards, such as hitting the curb or colliding with pedestrians. Maintaining this space also helps ensure a smoother and safer turn without cutting into lanes or conflicting with other traffic.

The other distances mentioned could either be too close, risking safety, or too far, which could lead to improper turning and potential disruptions to traffic flow. Therefore, 3 feet is considered the appropriate distance to ensure the vehicle can turn safely and efficiently.
