When making a left turn across traffic on a divided highway with enough median space, where should you position your vehicle while waiting for oncoming traffic to clear?
Why this is correct
When turning left across a divided highway where there is enough space between the two roadways, you can cross one half and wait in the middle until it is safe to cross the second half. While waiting between the roadways, stay to the right of the center.
From the official Minnesota Driver's Manual (page Page 36)
Crossing a rural divided highway can be dangerous. If there is enough space between the two roadways, you can cross one half and wait in the middle until it is safe to cross the second half. When waiting between the roadways, stay to the right of the center. When turning left onto a divided highway, use the same procedure as crossing straight across.
