Are you prohibited from making a U-turn from the sign to the closest intersection inclusive?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
YES
Explanation
In the photo, on the left, there is sign B-23 "no U-turns", and under it F-10 with lane directions. The ban on U-turns applies from the place where the sign stands up to and including the nearest junction - which means also at the junction with traffic lights that you can see ahead of you. The answer is: yes.
The Regulation on road signs and signals states that B-23 prohibits drivers from making U-turns up to and including the nearest junction, and the general rule says that a ban expressed by a prohibition sign applies from the place where the sign stands. The word "including" is key here: you must not make a U-turn on the section between the sign and the junction, or at the junction itself. Only after it, if the sign is not repeated, are U-turns allowed again.
Legal basis: § 22 para. 5 and § 15 para. 2 of the Regulation on road signs and signals
