Latest version.

  • A.

    The chief of police or other person designated by the city council is authorized to cause any street intersection to be designated as an intersection at which no "U" turn shall be made, or at which no right turn shall be made, or at which no left turn shall be made and to cause any street intersection to be designated as an intersection at which no turn shall be made, as may be authorized by the city council from time to time. The chief of police or other person designated by the council is further authorized to cause appropriate signs and markings to be painted on the surface of the street or intersection or clearly visible and uniform signs to be erected at such intersections indicating that it has been designated as an intersection at which no "U" turn shall be made, or as an intersection at which no right turn shall be made, or as an intersection at which no left turn shall be made, or as an intersection at which no turn shall be made.

    B.

    It is unlawful for the operator of a vehicle to make a "U" turn with such vehicle being driven or operated by him or her at any place on a street except at a street intersection which has not been designated as an intersection at which no "U" turn or no left turn shall be made, and at which intersection no signs or markings have been painted indicating that it is an intersection designated as an intersection at which no "U" turn or no left turn shall be made.

    C.

    It is unlawful for the operator of a vehicle to make a right turn at any intersection which has been designated as an intersection at which no right turn shall be made, and it is unlawful for operator of a vehicle to make a left turn at an intersection that has been designated as an intersection at which no left turn shall be made, and it is unlawful for the operator of a motor vehicle to make any turn at an intersection that has been designated as an intersection at which no turn shall be made, and at which intersection signs or markings have been painted or erected indicating that no right turn, no left turn or no turn shall be made, as the case may be.

    D.

    The fact that an intersection has been designated as an intersection at which turning is restricted as provided in this section, as indicated by appropriate signs or markings erected or painted in accord with this section, shall be prima facie evidence that the designation was authorized by the city council and that it was determined by the council that such intersection should be designated according to such signs or markings as they then exist.
