What to do at a No Left Turn Sign

Left turns are prohibited at the intersection ahead.

  • Recognize the sign by its square shape and black/white color combination.
  • Adjust your speed and lane position based on the message above.
  • Watch for related signs and pavement markings nearby.

warning Common Test Mistakes

On the written exam, applicants frequently miss questions that:

  • Confuse a square shape with a similar one (e.g. octagon vs hexagon).
  • Mistake the meaning of color (red = prohibition; yellow = caution; green/blue = guidance).
  • Skip the action requirement — knowing what a sign means isn't the same as knowing what to do.
