Does the prohibitory sign on the left side of the roadway also prohibit making a U-turn at the nearest intersection?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
YES
Explanation
In the video you are driving along a street next to tram tracks and approaching a junction, before which there is sign B-21 "no left turn" on the left side of the roadway. A sign placed on the left side applies in the same way as one placed on the right, and B-21 also prohibits U-turns at the nearest junction. The answer is: yes.
The Regulation on road signs and signals provides that a road sign placed on the left side of the roadway or lanes is a repetition of a sign placed on the right side, unless specific rules provide otherwise, and sign B-21 prohibits turning left and also making a U-turn, with the ban applying at the nearest junction. Signs about left turns are often placed precisely on the left side, closer to the lane from which this manoeuvre is made, so that the driver definitely notices them. You can make a U-turn only at a later junction without such a ban.
Legal basis: § 2 para. 1 and § 22 para. 1 and 2 of the Regulation on road signs and signals
