39 Making a U-turn contrary to a no U-turn sign

Rule 39(1) amended by S.R. No. 135/2021 rule 16.

(1) A driver must not make a U-turn at a break in a dividing strip on a road if there is a no U-turn sign at the break in the dividing strip.

1 Dividing strip is defined in the dictionary.

2 Rule 322(5) and (6) deal with the meaning of a traffic sign at a break in a dividing strip.

(2) A driver must not make a U-turn on a length of road to which a no U-turn sign applies.

(3) A no U-turn sign on a road (except a no U-turn sign at an intersection or at a break in a dividing strip) applies to the length of road beginning at the sign and ending at the nearer of the following—

(a) the next intersection on the road;

(b) if the road ends at a T-intersection or dead end—the end of the road.

1 Intersection and T-intersection are defined in the dictionary.
