That makes sense. When I do A, I stop in the circle and wait until the bottom traffic has a gap that's safe to complete the turn. When I do B, I stop in the circle and wait until the top traffic has a gap that's safe to complete the turn.

1) To pass (But only if you aren't crossing a solid yellow line to do so, that would be a violation of the sections above (and yes, there are center lanes out there with dashed lines on both sides)).
2) To turn left
3) As directed by signs/cones/etc for traffic control.

Merging right, accelerating, pulling out to stop and wait for an opening, etc is nowhere mentioned in there, so it is not permitted :thumbs2:
What if you're waiting for an opening to turn left?

What if you're waiting for an opening to turn left from a side street or driveway?
