What is a "no turns sign"?
A no turns sign is a traffic sign that forbids drivers from making any turns at a specific intersection or junction. This sign is often used in areas where turning could cause traffic problems or safety concerns, such as busy streets or sharp corners. The sign is usually marked with a red circle and a line crossing through an arrow, indicating that neither left nor right turns are allowed. Drivers must follow the sign and continue straight, seeking an alternate route to avoid violating traffic laws.
