State Law reference— Provisions on turning movements, Veh. C. § 22100 et seq.

A. The City Traffic Engineer is authorized to place markers, buttons or signs within or adjacent to intersections indicating the course to be traveled by vehicles turning at such intersections, and the City Traffic Engineer is authorized to allocate and indicate more than one (1) lane of traffic from which drivers of vehicles may make right or left turns.

B. When authorized markers, buttons or other indicators are placed within an intersection indicating the course to be traveled by vehicles turning there, no driver of a vehicle shall disobey the directions of such indicators.

(ORD-09-0021, § 13, 2009; Prior code § 3410.25)

The City Traffic Engineer is 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.

(ORD-09-0021, § 14, 2009; Prior code § 3410.26)

Whenever authorized signs are erected indicating that no right, left or U-turn is permitted, no driver of a vehicle shall disobey the directions of any such sign.

(Prior code § 3410.27)

No driver of any vehicle shall make a right turn against a red or stop signal at any intersection where a sign prohibiting such turn has been erected by the City Traffic Engineer, whether or not such vehicle has first stopped at the entrance to the crosswalk on the near side of such intersection or, if there is no crosswalk, at the entrance to any such intersection. The City Traffic Engineer is authorized and directed to erect an appropriate sign at any intersection controlled by an automatic signaling device where an engineering study indicates such right turn against a red or stop signal to be undesirable from a traffic congestion or hazard standpoint.

(ORD-09-0021, § 15, 2009; Prior code § 3410.28)

No driver of any vehicle operating on a one-way street shall make a left turn against a stop signal onto a one-way street on which traffic moves to the driver's left, where a sign prohibiting such turn has been erected by the City Traffic Engineer. The City Traffic Engineer is authorized and directed to erect an appropriate sign at any intersection controlled by an automatic signaling device where an engineering study indicates a left turn to be undesirable from a traffic congestion or hazard standpoint.
