What is a "left turn only sign"?
A left turn only sign is a traffic sign that directs drivers to make a left turn at a specific intersection or lane. This sign is usually placed at places where turning left is the only option for vehicles, either due to road design or traffic flow needs. The sign is typically marked with a symbol of an arrow pointing left, guiding drivers to follow the instruction. If drivers do not follow the sign and try to turn right or continue straight, they could cause traffic disruptions or be at risk of accidents.
Examples
The driver approached the intersection and noticed the left turn only sign, signaling that they could only proceed in the direction indicated.
Following the left turn only sign, all vehicles in the left lane turned left onto the narrow street.
