A valid reason to enter two-way left turn lanes placed in the middle of two- way roads is to make a safe left turn. These lanes are specifically designed for vehicles making left turns in either direction, allowing drivers to wait for a gap in oncoming traffic without obstructing through traffic. They improve safety by separating left-turning vehicles from the through lanes and enhance traffic flow by reducing delays caused by vehicles waiting to turn left. Additionally, drivers turning from side streets can first enter the two- way left turn lane to wait for oncoming traffic from only one direction at a time, which is safer and more efficient.
