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 center line thereof and by passing to the right of such
center line 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 center line 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.
4.
Designated Two-Way Left-Turn Lanes. Where a special lane for making left turns by drivers proceeding
in opposite directions have been indicated by official traffic control
devices:
a.
A left turn shall not be made from any other lane;
b.
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;
c.
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.
The City Traffic Engineer is hereby authorized to determine
those intersections at which drivers of vehicles shall not make a
right, left or U-turn and shall place proper signs at such intersections.
The making of such turns may be prohibited between certain hours of
any day and permitted at other hours, in which event the same shall
be plainly indicated on the signs or they may be removed when such
turns are permitted.
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.
