PassLeft & Right Turn Prohibited
Where: At intersections on any public road, especially in areas where turning could disrupt traffic flow, create congestion, or pose a safety hazard. These signs are typically used in urban areas, near schools, or at busy junctions.
Purpose: To prohibit specific turning movements — either left, right, or both — at the intersection. This ensures safer traffic flow, prevents collisions, and minimizes congestion by controlling the direction vehicles can legally travel.
Action Required by Driver: If a left-turn prohibition is displayed, you may proceed straight or turn right only. If a right-turn prohibition is displayed, you may proceed straight or turn left only. If both turns are prohibited, you must proceed straight through the intersection.
- Observe surroundings — always check surrounding traffic, road markings, and signals to ensure safety while obeying the turn restriction.
- Maintain orderly flow — these rules help maintain orderly traffic movement and reduce the risk of accidents at intersections.
