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.
[Code 1962 §18-140; CC 1979 §16-147; Ord. No. 973 §1, 10-4-1977]
No vehicle shall be turned so as to proceed in the opposite
direction upon any curve, or upon the approach to or near the crest
of a grade or hill, where the vehicle cannot be seen by the driver
of any other vehicle approaching from either direction within five
hundred (500) feet.
[Ord. No. 99-19, 6-1-1999]
It shall be unlawful for any person to drive any motor vehicle
upon or across any sidewalk, driveway, filling station or other commercial
driveway or other similar surface located at the corner of any intersection
protected by a traffic light or other traffic signal or sign, for
the purpose of evading the regulations governing the turning of motor
vehicles at intersections.
