Describe the No U-Turn sign.

• A. U-turns are allowed in specified areas
• B. U-turns are not allowed
• C. U-turns are allowed during certain hours
• D. You may perform a U-turn where a sign doesn't say not to

Answer: (B)

A No U-Turn sign means you are not allowed to make a U-turn at that location. It’s shown as a U-turn arrow with a red circle and a diagonal slash across it, signaling a strict prohibition. When you see it, you should not reverse direction with a U-turn and should instead continue straight or take an allowed turn and look for a permitted place to turn around later. If there were hours or exceptions, they would appear on a different sign; this prohibition applies at all times where the sign is posted. Other options would misstate what the sign communicates: it does not authorize U-turns in specific areas, it does not signify hours-based permission, and turning around where no sign forbids it isn’t guaranteed by the absence of a sign.
