Turning Through a Left Turn Lane

[mastavic]

Hello, I hope you are doing well. This scenario applies to the state of California.

I am a bit confused about something and would like clarification. I am wondering if I can turn out of my driveway, go through a double solid yellow line, through a left turn lane, turn left, and then go straight down the road.

To indicate what the specific road looks like, I have included a photograph: http://i.imgur.com/5hbsk.jpg In the photograph, I would be trying to get out of the driveway and end up where the school bus is so that I can keep going straight.

Please let me know if you need any clarification. Thank you!

Your driveway is in the middle of the picture on the left?

(2) As provided in Section 21460.5.

(c) Either of the markings as specified in subdivision (a) or (b) does not prohibit a driver from crossing the marking when (1) turning to the left at any intersection or into or out of a driveway or private road, or (2) making a U-turn under the rules governing that turn, and either of the markings shall be disregarded when authorized signs have been erected designating offcenter traffic lanes as permitted under Section 21657.

Simple answer yes.
