What is a "no left turn sign"?
A no left turn sign is a traffic sign that prohibits drivers from making a left turn at a particular intersection or junction. This sign is typically used when a left turn could cause safety problems, disrupt traffic flow, or violate local road rules. The sign is usually displayed with a red circle and a line crossing through an arrow pointing left. Drivers must follow the sign by taking an alternate route or turning at the next allowed intersection to avoid a violation and maintain smooth traffic movement.
Examples
At the busy junction, the no left turn sign prevented drivers from making a leftward maneuver during rush hour.
The driver glanced at the no left turn sign and obediently continued straight ahead.
