Show answer & explanationAnswer & explanation
Correct answer: A. It is a regulatory sign prohibiting U-turns at this location.
White rectangular signs with black lettering are regulatory signs, which indicate laws or regulations that must be obeyed. 'NO U TURN' explicitly prohibits the maneuver at that location.
Why the other options are wrong
- B. Service signs are blue with white symbols, indicating motorist services.
- C. Guide signs provide information; 'NO U TURN' is a prohibition, not a recommendation.
- D. Warning signs are yellow and diamond-shaped; regulatory signs denote legal requirements.
No U Turn Sign
A regulatory sign that explicitly prohibits drivers from making a U-turn at the location where the sign is posted.
- White rectangular sign with black text and/or a crossed-out U-turn arrow.
- Indicates a legal prohibition, not a suggestion.
- Disobeying the sign can result in a traffic citation.
Memory trick: White is rule, yellow warns, blue is help, orange adorns.
