No "U-turn sign" = cannot U-turn?
-
Was having a debate with a friend:
My theory is that a driver can u-turn as long as ther is no"No U-turn" sign.
But my friend argued that a driver can u-turn only when there's a u-turn sign.
So I asked: then what is the "No U-turn" sign good for?
Then my friend argued: what then is the "U-turn" sign good for?
Haha so who is right?
-
no TP = can U-turn. got TP = find U-turn sign.
-
Hahaha.
Hmmm but serious la - the "u-turn" and the no "u-turn" sign must serve each's own purpose right? I mean, if both sign exist in this world, then they must be mutually exclusive of each other, and that only one of the situation below should occur:
a) U-turn can only be conducted at a "U-turn" sign; or
b) U-turn is disallowed only at the "No u-turn" sign.
So hor, which is correct huh?
-
mutually exclusive. LOL.
U sound like my biostatistics teacher.
Mutually exclusive, independent events. Etc...
I think no U turn sign usually only when the traffic lights dun have the "turn right" signal. Cos then can't really find a clear opening to u-turn. I hope u understand what i'm trying to say. LOL.
Then usually when there's no u-turn sign means its illegal.
I also dunno.
Sounds lk the double yellow line n zig zag yellow line to me.
Equally confusing.
Haha! -
u turn sign means can u-turn at coming junction. By right CANNOT u-turn at every junction, only can do it when you see the sign.
The no u-turn sign is a super notice to those who illegally do the u-turn at junctions, i think. -
can lar.
just dont know get involved in a accident or get caught. -

strongly agree.
Got U-turn sign - can turn wif TP or no TP
Got (no u-turn) sign - can turn wif no TP around, not recommend wif TP
No sign to say can U-turn (like normal 4lanes, 2lane a side wif no divider - can do wifout TP around. but wif TP must see the situation, cause they can say u do dangerous manoeuver.

which applies to the taxi-drivers.Originally posted by nightzip:u turn sign means can u-turn at coming junction. By right CANNOT u-turn at every junction, only can do it when you see the sign.

-
if there is no U-turn sign, PLS don't u-turn.
near my hse got T-junction..
let's say, car A is attempting to u-turn at the T-junction.. but on his right, car B is on a 'left turn on red' scheme!! what happens? car A looks in front, no car, turn. car B looks right, no car, turn!
-
haha. dun care..just u-turn. but got police i will drive further down to find u-turn spot.

other countries, the rule is that U-turn is allowed unless there is a 'no U-turn' sign -

So confirm ah? In Singapore, by right and by law, U-turn allowed only when there's an U-turn sign? -

go into one of the carparks and turn around..Originally posted by johncooper:Like dat die leow ... go along east coast road and you want to make a proper u turn you will need to drive all the way to fort road to make a blardy u turn!? -
you could turn into tembeling road (shell station there) or katong shopping centre carpark and drive along those landed property and you'll end up on haig road again to choose left or right turn. careful not to just turn into any lane cuz some might not have through roads.Originally posted by johncooper:Like dat die leow ... go along east coast road and you want to make a proper u turn you will need to drive all the way to fort road to make a blardy u turn!? -
Oh I just remembered SM Goh Chok Tong's last National Day speech.
He quoted from Sim Wong Hoo's book that Singaporeans are very straight-minded: they will only make a u-turn when they see a u-turn sign.
So SM Goh must have implied that it is legal to make a u-turn anywhere, as long as there's no "No U-turn" sign. Right? -
When u see "No U-Turn" sign, it means that the authority had reviewed the traffic of this particular road and decide to disallow U-turn (initially U-turn is allow). The no "U-turn" sign is to inform motorist that this jn does not allow U-turn anymore.Originally posted by sunboy77:Was having a debate with a friend:

by default, u can only U-turn when there is a U-turn sign only. -
Oh is it?!Originally posted by IsIsTRD:When u see "No U-Turn" sign, it means that the authority had reviewed the traffic of this particular road and decide to disallow U-turn (initially U-turn is allow).
Haha now I finally know the purpose of the "No U-turn" sign. -
not only that..
i think its for 3 reasons.. 1) last time can u-turn, now cannot but take away sign not clear enough so replace with a no u turn sign
2) got no "can u-turn" sign but people still illegally u-turn end up got traffic congestion or major accident or simply unsafe so to wake up the driver that there is no u-turn allowed (emphasizing) the sign is placed.
(basically u-turning not allowed without a u-turn sign but since u dun listen act blur when got no sign so we put one sign here so u got no excuse)
3) left turn on red scheme introduced, so either an old "can u-turn" sign replace to no u-turn to facilitate this scheme or new "no u-turn" sign placed to emphasize that uturning is not allowed
oh and the zig zag lines thing.. single zig-zag line is demerit points no parking at all times on that side of the road. double yellow line is no parking at all times. once again, double yellow replaced by single zig zag is cos double yellow is everywhere.. so pple tend to be used to it until they ignore it.. ulu ulu road also haf busy road also same so pple park anywhere.. but zig zag line wake up the driver that this is REALLI no parking or else CONFIRM got demerit and its more serious if u park here. (usually zig zag at busy roads etc.) -
dun hiew lan so much.
just u turn anywhere as long as you dont cause trouble, accident to other road user can liao.
thats what i practise.
