A.
The driver
of a vehicle intending to turn at an intersection shall do so as follows:
1.
Right turns. Both the approach for a right turn and a right
turn shall be made as close as practicable to the right-hand curb
or edge of the roadway, except where multiple turn lanes have been
established.
2.
Left turns on two-way roadways. At any intersection where
traffic is permitted to move in both directions on each roadway entering
the intersection, an approach for a left turn shall be made in that
portion of the right-half of the roadway nearest the centerline thereof
and by passing to the right of such centerline where it enters the
intersection and after entering the intersection the left turn shall
be made so as to leave the intersection to the right of the centerline
of the roadway being entered. Whenever practicable, the left turn
shall be made in that portion of the intersection to the left of the
center of the intersection.
3.
Left turns on other than two-way roadways. At any intersection
where traffic is restricted to one (1) direction on one (1) or more
of the roadways, the driver of a vehicle intending to turn left at
any such intersection shall approach the intersection in the extreme
left-hand lane lawfully available to traffic moving in the direction
of travel of such vehicle and after entering the intersection the
left turn shall be made so as to leave the intersection, as nearly
as practicable, in the left-hand lane lawfully available to traffic
moving in such direction upon the roadway being entered, except where
multiple turn lanes have been established.
A.
Where
a special lane for making left turns by drivers proceeding in opposite
directions have been indicated by official traffic control devices:
1.
A left
turn shall not be made from any other lane;
2.
A vehicle
shall not be driven in the lane except when preparing for or making
a left turn from or into the roadway or when preparing for or making
a U-turn when otherwise permitted by law; and
3.
A vehicle
shall not be driven in the lane for a distance more than five hundred
(500) feet.
A.
The City
Traffic Engineer is authorized to place markers, buttons or signs
within or adjacent to intersections indicating the course to be traveled
by vehicles turning at such intersections, and such course to be traveled
as so indicated may conform to or be other than as prescribed by law
or ordinance.
B.
When
authorized markers, buttons or other indications are placed within
an intersection indicating the course to be traveled by vehicles turning
thereat, no driver of a vehicle shall disobey the directions of such
indications.
Whenever authorized signs are erected indicating that no right
or left or U-turn is permitted, no driver of a vehicle shall disobey
the directions of any such sign.
The driver of any vehicle shall not turn such vehicle so as
to proceed in the opposite direction upon any street in a business
district and shall not upon any other street so turn a vehicle unless
such movement can be made in safety and without interfering with other
traffic.
