[Ord. No. 252 §1]
The driver of a vehicle intending to turn at an intersection
shall do so as follows:
(a) Right turns. Both the approach for a right turn
and a right turn shall be made as close as practicable to the right-hand
curb or edge of the roadway.
(b) Left turns on two-way roadways. At any intersection
where traffic is permitted to move in both directions on each roadway
entering the intersection, an approach for a left turn shall be made
in that portion of the right-half of the roadway nearest the centerline
thereof and by passing to the right of such centerline where it enters
the intersection and after entering the intersection the left turn
shall be made so as to leave the intersection to the right of the
centerline of the roadway being entered. Whenever practicable the
left turn shall be made in that portion of the intersection to the
left of the center of the intersection.
(c) Left turns on other than two-way roadways. At any
intersection where traffic is restricted to one (1) direction on one
(1) or more of the roadways, the driver of a vehicle intending to
turn left at any such intersection shall approach the intersection
in the extreme left-hand lane lawfully available to traffic moving
in the direction of travel of such vehicle and after entering the
intersection the left turn shall be made so as to leave the intersection,
as nearly as practicable, in the left-hand lane lawfully available
to traffic moving in such direction upon the roadway being entered.
[Ord. No. 252, §1; Ord. No. 300, §12; Ord. No. 301, §1; Ord. No. 2060 §3, 9-2-2008]
(a) The board of aldermen 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.
[Ord. No. 252, §1]
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.
[Ord. No. 252, §1]
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.
