What it means
What does the no u-turn sign mean in NSW?
A black arrow loops up and back down like an upside down U, inside a red ring with a red stroke across it. The stroke cancels the move, so turning your car around to head back the way you came is banned at that spot. It often appears at busy intersections, near medians and on stretches where turning around would block traffic or leave you exposed to oncoming drivers.
What to do
- 1
Keep going and find a street, roundabout or block you can loop around.
- 2
Remember U-turns at traffic lights are banned unless a sign allows them.
- 3
Where a U-turn is allowed, give way to every vehicle and pedestrian first.
