In central Melbourne, what is a hook turn?

The answer

  • A turn using the tram lane
  • A U-turn at traffic lights
  • A right turn made from the left lane where signed Correct
  • A left turn from the right lane

Why that's the answer

At signed intersections (mostly in Melbourne's CBD), right turns are made from the left lane: move forward to the far side, wait, and complete the turn when the lights on the road you're entering turn green. This keeps tram tracks clear.
