Difficulty: MediumRegulatory Signs

While approaching a multi-lane intersection, you observe a white square regulatory sign displaying a black arrow curving 180 degrees to the left, enclosed inside a red circle with a diagonal red slash running through it. What specific traffic maneuver does this regulatory sign prohibit?

  1. A
    Making a left turn into an oncoming traffic lane or side street
  2. B
    Overtaking or passing another vehicle on the left side near the intersection
  3. Turning your vehicle around to proceed in the opposite direction at the intersectionAnswer
  4. D
    Proceeding straight ahead without first coming to a complete stop when a green signal is present

Answer

The regulatory sign prohibits turning the vehicle around to travel in the opposite direction (making a U-turn).
A white square sign featuring a red circle with a diagonal red slash over a 180-degree curving arrow is a regulatory sign indicating 'No U-Turn'. Drivers encountering this sign are legally prohibited from turning their vehicle around to travel in the opposite direction at that intersection or roadway segment.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the sign shape, color scheme, and symbols
The white square background indicates a regulatory sign, and the red circle with a diagonal slash represents a strict legal prohibition.
Regulatory signs inform drivers of traffic laws and mandatory prohibitions that must be obeyed.
2
Interpret the symbol beneath the prohibition slash
A black arrow reversing direction by 180 degrees represents a U-turn.
Combining the U-turn symbol with the red prohibition slash signifies that U-turns are legally prohibited at this location.
