No person shall turn a vehicle at an intersection
unless the vehicle is in proper position on the roadway as required
by this section and unless and until such movement can be made with
reasonable safety.
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 a 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 center
thereof and by passing to the right of such center line 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
center line 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 direction on one 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.
No driver of any vehicle shall make a right
or left turn at any intersection where such turn is prohibited by
ordinance of the Commissioners and is clearly indicated by some traffic
control device.
The driver of a vehicle intending to turn to
the left within an intersection or into an alley, private road or
driveway shall yield the right-of-way to any vehicle approaching from
the opposite direction which is so close as to constitute an immediate
hazard.
Every driver who intends to turn, change lanes,
start from a parked position, stop or suddenly decrease the speed
of a vehicle shall not do so until such movement can be made with
reasonable safety, and no such movement shall be made without giving
an appropriate signal in the manner hereinafter provided.
The signals provided for in §
92-139 shall not be flashed on only one side of a parked or disabled vehicle, or flashed as a courtesy "do pass" signal to operators of other vehicles approaching from the rear.
Any motor vehicle in use on a highway shall
be equipped with and signals shall be given by a signal lamp or lamps
or a mechanical device when the distance from the center of the top
of the steering post to the left outside limit of the body, cab or
load of such motor vehicle exceeds 24 inches or when the distance
from the center of the top of the steering post to the rear limit
of the body or load thereof exceeds 14 feet. The latter measurement
shall apply to any single vehicle and also to any combination of vehicles.
No driver of any vehicle shall make a U-turn
on any street or portion thereof, except at crossovers on Rehoboth
Avenue, Scarborough Avenue and Bayard Avenue.
