The technology relates to maneuvering a vehicle 100 prior to making a turn from a current lane 410 of the vehicle. As an example, a route that includes making the turn from the lane is identified. An area 270 of the lane prior to the turn having a lane width of at least a predetermined size is also identified. Sensor data identifying an object within the lane is received from a perception system 172 of a vehicle. Characteristics of the object, including a location of the object relative to the vehicle, are identified from the sensor data. The vehicle is then maneuvered through the area prior to making the turn using the identified characteristics.
