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.
[Ord. No. 2008-01 § 9-29, 2-12-2008]
A. It shall be an ordinance violation for the driver of any motor vehicle
to turn such vehicle so as to proceed in the opposite direction at
any intersection controlled by a traffic control sign or signal or
police officer; nor shall such turn be made at any place unless the
movement can be made in safety and without interfering with other
traffic.
B. It shall be an ordinance violation if a driver of a vehicle turns
such vehicle so as to proceed in the opposite direction upon any curve,
upon the approach to or near the crest of a grade, or at any place
upon a roadway where such vehicle cannot be seen by the driver of
any other vehicle approaching from either direction along the roadway
within a distance of three hundred (300) feet, or when any other vehicle
is approaching from either direction where the same may create a traffic
hazard.
