When are you required to use a turnout lane?

A turnout lane is required when you are driving on a two-lane road and need to allow faster traffic to pass. If you are traveling slower than the speed limit or are obstructed by a vehicle or situation, using a designated turnout lane helps maintain the flow of traffic. It is especially important in areas where visibility is limited and can enhance overall road safety. Always yield to oncoming traffic when re-entering the main roadway.
