Difficulty: EasyRegulatory Signs

A driver approaches an intersection and sees a white square sign featuring a black curved arrow turning around, enclosed within a red circle with a diagonal red slash across it. What action is the driver legally required to take?

  1. Refrain from making a U-turn to reverse direction at this location.Answer
  2. B
    Bring the vehicle to a complete stop before executing a U-turn.
  3. C
    Yield to oncoming traffic and complete the U-turn only when clear.
  4. D
    Make the turn only if an officer is actively directing traffic.

Answer

The driver must not make a U-turn at the intersection.
Standard traffic regulations mandate that a red circle with a diagonal red slash over a movement graphic indicates a prohibited maneuver. A curved arrow reversing direction represents a U-turn, so drivers must refrain from making a 180-degree turn at that location.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the standard meaning of the sign's shape, colors, and graphics.
The white square background indicates a regulatory sign, and the red circle with a diagonal slash represents a prohibition.
Regulatory signs inform road users of traffic laws and mandatory prohibitions.
2
Determine the specific action prohibited by the symbol.
The internal black graphic depicts a U-turn, meaning reversing direction at this intersection is unlawful.
The symbol under the diagonal slash designates the exact driving maneuver that cannot be performed.
