If you are on a one-way street, which lane should you pass on the right?

  1. Any lane

  2. Through lane

  3. Neither

  4. Turning lane

The correct answer is: Neither

Passing on the right is generally not allowed on one-way streets as it often involves passing on the shoulder or risking collisions with vehicles turning left. Passing on the right can also impede the flow of traffic and cause confusion for other drivers. Both the through lane and turning lane are designated for vehicles traveling in a specific direction, so passing on the right in these lanes would be incorrect. Furthermore, passing on the right in any lane, including the turning lane, could potentially cause accidents or conflicts with other drivers. Therefore, the best option in this scenario is to avoid passing on the right altogether.
