At the State St. & Main St. intersection in Wethersfield, if you want to turn left, are you allowed to cross the two yellow lines and make a left? (see photo attached: Red arrow). Or, do you continue to go right until you reach Main St. and then make a sharp left onto Main St? (Blue arrow).

According to driver's manual, you are allowed to pass two solid yellow lines if making a left at the intersection, but Google is telling me I need to make a sharp turn left onto Main St.

Which one is correct?

Of course you can cross the lines to make a left. Google is nice but not perfect.

Google Maps is wrong VERY often. Don't even get me started on that site.

Yes, you can turn left there, that's what the left fork is for. They should have left a space when painting the roads. It looks like it would be pretty dangerous to make that sharp left.

I know this intersection. I would say that someone in the town made a mistake in marking that double line. The design of that island is specifically to allow you to follow the red line unless there is a sign that says "No Left Turns" which is not the case there. Jay
