1. If a highway has two or more clearly marked lanes for traffic traveling in one
direction, vehicles must: (a) Be driven as nearly as practicable entirely within a single lane; and (b) Not be moved from that lane until the driver has given the appropriate turn signal
and ascertained that such movement can be made with safety. 2. Upon a highway which has been divided into three clearly marked lanes, a vehicle

and the center lane is clear of traffic for a safe distance; (b) In preparation for a left turn; or (c) When the center lane is allocated exclusively to traffic moving in the direction
in which the vehicle is proceeding and a sign is posted to give notice of such allocation. 3. If a highway has been designed to provide a single center lane to be used only
for turning by traffic moving in both directions, the following rules apply: (a) A vehicle may be driven in the center turn lane only for the purpose of making
a left-hand turn onto or from the highway. (b) A vehicle must not travel more than 200 feet in a center turn lane before making
a left-hand turn from the highway. (c) A vehicle must not travel more than 50 feet in a center turn lane after making
a left-hand turn onto the highway before merging with traffic. 4. If a highway has been designed to provide a single right lane to be used only for
turning, a vehicle must: (a) Be driven in the right turn lane only for the purpose of making a right turn;
and (b) While being driven in the right turn lane, not travel through an intersection. 5. A person who violates any provision of this section may be subject to any additional
penalty set forth in NRS 484B.130 or 484B.135 .
