§ 3150. AUTHORITY TO PLACE RESTRICTED TURN SIGNS.¶
(a) The City Traffic Engineer is hereby authorized to determine those intersections or other locations at which drivers of vehicles shall not make a right, left or U-turn and shall place proper signs, or if applicable as determined by the City Traffic Engineer, pavement markings, at such intersections or other locations. The making of such turns may be prohibited between certain hours of any day and permitted during other hours, in which event the same shall be plainly indicated on the signs, or such signs may be removed when such turns are permitted; and
(b) When left turns occurring from private property used for other than single family use are impeding the flow of traffic and/or creating a dangerous condition, the City Traffic Engineer shall have the authority to require, upon reasonable notice, the owners or occupants, to post signage prohibiting left turns at those exits designated by the City Traffic Engineer. All required signage shall conform to the requirements of the CAMUTCD and City and shall be installed and maintained to the satisfaction of the City Traffic Engineer.
