Are you allowed in this situation to turn left at the next intersection?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
YES
Explanation
In the photo, on the right, there is sign B-23 "no U-turns" - a red circle with a crossed-out U-turn arrow. This sign prohibits only U-turns; a left turn at the nearest junction is still allowed. The answer is: yes.
The Regulation on road signs and signals clearly separates these bans: B-23 prohibits U-turns up to and including the nearest junction, and B-21 "no left turn" prohibits a left turn and also U-turns. So the link works only one way - a ban on turning left includes U-turns, but a ban on U-turns does not include turning left. When turning left, you move towards the centre of the roadway and give way to vehicles coming from the opposite direction.
Legal basis: § 22 para. 1 and 5 of the Regulation on road signs and signals
