Surprisingly, such a simple maneuver as turning left often baffles novice drivers - is it possible?

This is explained simply - only one well-known sign is installed on highways, prohibiting movement to the left. At the same time, there are many situations when turning left is strictly not allowed. In this article, you will learn in detail which signs prohibit turning left.

No left turn sign

The mechanism of action of this prohibition sign is simple: it is installed on problematic sections of the road, where a left turn can create a traffic jam or provoke a traffic accident.

However, signs where an action is crossed out with a red stripe sometimes panic some motorists who mistakenly believe that such prohibitions impose a taboo on driving along the entire section of the road.

It should be remembered once and for all: the sign "No left turn" means only that you can not turn left, that's all. That is, the driver has the right to move straight, to the right and even make a U-turn, without fear of administrative penalties.

It's important to know: the effect of the sign in question does not apply to route vehicles. A serious mistake of the car owner in this case is the reckless following of a bus, trolleybus or fixed-route taxi moving along a certain route.

You can argue, argue and have your own opinion on the expediency of installing this sign. But if there is one on the road, it means that he is acting, and resistance to him is useless.

Having violated the ban, when turning to the left, you can encounter other prohibition signs and find yourself in a trap from which it will be impossible to get out either in reverse or with a U-turn.

One of the clearest examples of the use of the “no left turn” sign is its installation at gas stations located to the left of the road. This is very convenient for both drivers and employees of the gas station, since a clear indication of the entrance and exit allows you to organize a fast and uninterrupted traffic flow.

Did you know that the action of the sign prohibiting the left turn applies to the specific intersection of the carriageways in front of which it is installed? That is, even if the next road intersection appears after a few meters, you can safely turn left on it if necessary .

Sometimes, along with the sign "Turn to the left is prohibited", a sign "Distance to the object" is installed. In this case, the sign should be read as follows: "After N meters there is a road intersection where you can not turn left." This is very convenient when driving outside settlements and on unfamiliar routes - the driver has the opportunity to orient in advance and choose the correct trajectory, which will positively affect safety.

The most common among prescriptive signs are familiar signs indicating the direction of movement. In no case should you deviate from the trajectory shown by the white arrow on a blue background.. Hence the conclusion - it is forbidden to turn left under the prescriptive signs indicating the following directions:

• directly;
• right;
• forward and to the right.

These signs are valid only at the intersection of the carriageways where they are installed.

In addition, drivers should be aware that route vehicles have the right to ignore these signs, as provided for by the rules of the road.

Signs of special regulations

Among the signs of special regulations, there is also a sign that does not allow turning left. This sign indicates that the driver is about to enter the road, where one-way traffic is provided. Naturally, in this case we are talking about one-way traffic to the right - therefore, you cannot turn left. Intersections at which this category of signs is installed are usually regulated or have priority signs.

Interesting fact: U-turn is allowed at the intersection marked with the sign 3 "Exit to the one-way road to the right". It can be carried out at the moment when the traffic flow on the intersecting road will stand, waiting for its turn.

Another sign of special regulations, in the area of ​​\u200b\u200bwhich it is forbidden to turn left - namely, in the case when the lane for public transport is directed to the left. According to the traffic rules, not only buses and trolleybuses, but also cars with the distinguishing signs "Taxi" have the right to move along this lane. All other drivers may not occupy this lane.

The sign, which allows fixed-route vehicles and taxis to move in the opposite direction, consists of two parts: the arrow at the bottom shows in which direction all cars from the intersecting road can go, and on the top of the sign there is a bus and an arrow pointing in the opposite direction.

Tip for new drivers: in order not to get confused and correctly understand in which direction the “Exit to the road with a lane for route vehicles” allows movement, you need to mentally discard the part where the bus drawing is located. As a result, the sign " Exit to a one-way road».

Information signs

"Place to turn" and "Length of the zone to turn"- two information signs prohibiting a left turn.

Very contradictory and even misleading signs - now the steering wheel is turned to the left, and the left turn signal is on, and the temptation to make a turn is very great. But this is prohibited by the rules of the road.

The sad statistics of traffic accidents suggests that turning left is one of the most dangerous road maneuvers. Confident knowledge of the signs prohibiting this action will help to avoid many problems on the road.

Prohibition road signs "Turn to the right is prohibited", "Turn to the left is prohibited" and "No U-turn". What these signs are used for, what they mean, where and how they are installed, and which vehicles are not covered by these signs.

Sign 3.18.1 "No right turn"

Road sign 3.18.1 “Turn to the right is prohibited” is used to prohibit turning to the right at the nearest intersection of carriageways in cases where the necessary traffic order cannot be provided with the help of prescriptive signs or lane direction signs.

The sign "Turn to the right is prohibited" is valid at the first intersection of the carriageways in front of which it is installed. The sign does not apply to route vehicles.

You can read about what a "Route Vehicle" is in the article.

Sign 3.18.1 prohibits only turning right. Driving straight, turning left and U-turn (if there is a technical possibility for the listed movement options, and they do not contradict traffic rules) are NOT prohibited.

The yellow background of the No Right Turn sign means that the sign is temporary. Such signs are installed in places where road works are carried out.

Penalty for violation of the sign 3.18.1 "No right turn"

For non-compliance with the requirements of the sign 3.18.1 “No right turn”, i.e. for turning right under this sign, the driver will be sanctioned in the form of a warning or a fine of 500 rubles under Part 1 of Article 12.16 of the Code of Administrative Offenses.

But if turning right under this prohibition sign will cause the car to drive towards traffic, this act will be regarded as driving in the opposite direction on a one-way road (Article 12.16 Part 3 - a fine of 5,000 rubles or deprivation of rights for up to six months) .

Sign 3.18.2 "No left turn"

Road sign 3.18.2 "Turn to the left is prohibited" is used to prohibit turning to the left at the nearest intersection of carriageways in cases where the necessary traffic order cannot be provided using signs 4.1.1 - 4.1.6 () or 5.15.1, 5.15.2 ( ).

The sign "Turn to the left is prohibited" is valid at the first intersection of the carriageways in front of which it is installed. The sign does not apply to route vehicles.

Sign 3.18.2 prohibits only turning left. If it is technically possible to turn right or turn around at the place where the sign is installed, and these maneuvers do not contradict the traffic rules, then turning and turning right are NOT prohibited.

The yellow background of the No Left Turn sign means that the sign is temporary. Such signs are installed in places where road works are carried out.

Penalty for violation of the sign 3.18.2 "No left turn"

For non-compliance with the requirement of sign 3.18.2 “No left turn”, sanctions may be imposed on the driver under part 2 of article 12.16 of the Code of Administrative Offenses in the form of a fine of 1000-1500 rubles.

But if a left turn under sign 3.18.2 will lead to the fact that the car will go towards the traffic, then such a turn will be regarded as moving in the opposite direction on a one-way road (Article 12.16 Part 3 - a fine of 5000 rubles or deprivation of rights up to half a year). A similar example is in the figure above (trajectory of the red arrow).

Sign 3.19 "No U-turn"

Road sign 3.19 "Turn is prohibited" is used to prohibit a U-turn at intersections if this maneuver endangers the movement of other vehicles or pedestrians. The sign, respectively, is installed in front of the intersection.

The action of the sign "No U-turn" does not apply to route vehicles.

If the road to the intersection has a median lane, then between the intersections this lane can be interrupted, forming so-called gaps that can be used for a U-turn.

If it is necessary to prohibit a U-turn in a break in the dividing strip, then a sign is usually placed in front of it. The sign "No U-turn" is not installed in such gaps.

Sign 3.19 prohibits only a U-turn. If it is technically possible to turn left at the place where the sign is installed (a trajectory similar in direction of movement), and the turn will not contradict traffic rules, then turning left is NOT prohibited.

The yellow background of the No U-turn sign means that the sign is temporary.

Penalty for violation of the sign 3.19 "No U-turn"

For non-compliance with the requirement of the sign 3.19 "No U-turn" (for a U-turn under the sign "No U-turn"), the driver will be sanctioned in the form of a fine of 1000-1500 rubles under Part 2 of Article 12.16 of the Code of Administrative Offenses.

In conclusion, we can note one detail common to these signs. The listed signs "Turn to the right is prohibited", "Turn to the left is prohibited" and "Turn is prohibited" prohibit only what is shown on them by arrows.

If turning is prohibited, then turning is not prohibited. Accordingly, if a turn is prohibited, then the turn is not prohibited. At the same time, it is necessary to take into account the general organization of the directions of movement, so that after your maneuver you do not end up on the side of oncoming traffic.

On roads with two or more lanes for traffic in this direction, the main signs 3.18.2 "No left turn" and 3.19 "No turn" are installed above the left lane, on roads with a dividing strip - on the dividing strip.

On roads without a dividing lane, with the number of lanes for oncoming traffic no more than two, it is allowed to install a duplicate sign on the left side of the road.

How to properly turn left at an intersection - this question has many answers, depending on the situation. First you need to remember that the left turn signal is always on.

The intersection of traffic flows is carried out in different ways, so the intersections also come in varying degrees of complexity. They are regulated if everyone is driving according to the established traffic lights or at the signal of the traffic controller.

Accordingly, if:

• no traffic light visible
• traffic light is out of order
• it has a permanent yellow signal
• no one tells the cars where to go - the intersection is unregulated.

Here, the passage of an intersection with a left turn is carried out according to the rules for intersections, where the flow of cars is organized by the drivers themselves - they move, coordinating their actions with placed signs and other car owners.

It is important to know to whom and when to yield - the main part of the rules consists of this. Each rule should be disassembled step by step. Knowing how to properly turn left at a traffic light intersection can avoid many costly hassles.

When turning, turning on a green light at an intersection with a traffic light, the driver yields to:

• cars that drive towards or turn right (traffic rules 13.4).
• starting to follow the sign, which turns on along with the yellow and red lights, you need to give way to all cars that drive from other lanes (trams do the same); if the additional section is off, then the movement can be carried out only on the main signal.
• if the movement of all vehicles is allowed, the tram gets priority - they must yield to it (traffic rules 6.); rail transport is given an advantage - first the tram is skipped, then you can go through the tram tracks
• when green is on, you should move after all the cars still at the intersection are outside it and all pedestrians cross the road (traffic rules 13.8) - this is a requirement that is necessary for general safety.

After turning on the green, the driver moves in the direction he needs, the signals of the traffic light located at the exit from the intersection do not touch him. But he must see the road markings - if there are stop lines, then he will have to look at the traffic lights and move according to their signals.

The junction at the intersection when turning left with such lines has a special traffic organization, you can’t turn without stopping, you need to move intermittently, only on green signals (traffic rules 13.7). If it was green, then you should move to the intersection and skip oncoming traffic while there. There is no need to stop at the stop lines in such a situation, since there is permission to move - it was green.

With regard to the priority of rail transport, it is valid if the intersection is regulated by one traffic light. If separate traffic lights are installed for trams and railless vehicles, then the drivers of both vehicles must notice and understand the signals of dual regulation. Accordingly, if the green light is on for the driver of the car, then it will be red for the tram - with this combination, the car driver makes a turn from the tram tracks to the left, without yielding.

This is a brief instruction of the driver's strategy when maneuvering at an intersection - everything must be observed from the beginning in order to follow the rules instinctively later.

Moving through this type of intersection, the driver will have to yield:

• cars on the main road (if he himself is on a secondary road)
• tram (if you are on the same road with it)
• all on the right, if equivalent roads intersect; rail transport does the same, while they have priority
• cars that drive straight or right on an equivalent road if the driver himself turns left or plans to turn around (trams should do the same)
• pedestrians and cyclists, if they move or cross the roadway.

Stay on the main road does not mean permanent priority. If it goes to the left, and there are two signs - the main road and the turn, then you need to remember 13.11 SDA - give way to all cars that drive up on the right.

You should not expect that all drivers scrupulously studied the rules. Therefore, when driving on the main road, not only signs and signals are important, you need to carefully monitor the maneuvers of neighboring traffic participants and act accordingly.

At the intersection of unequal roads a citizen who rides on a secondary one can try to slip through first, despite the rules. It is better to skip it - there is not always an inspection nearby that will stop the violator. It is always necessary to see first that the other driver is inferior.

If the direction of the road begins to change, the rules established for the passage of intersections of equivalent roads (regardless of which road is in question, main or secondary) apply.

If there is no designated main road and the markings on the road surface are indistinguishable, the driver drives as if driving on a secondary road.

It is forbidden to create obstacles to the flow from the cross road - when a traffic jam forms, you should not strive to the intersection.

If there are two or more unidirectional traffic lanes, the intersection is considered complex. A lane is any space of the carriageway sufficient for the passage of a car, it may or may not be marked with markings.

At an intersection with two or more passing lanes with a permitted left turn, in the event of a lane change, the driver gives way to someone who is already in the lane to which he is changing lanes. The same principle at roundabouts is to give way to the one who is in his lane.

In practical driving lessons, drivers learn to move to the extreme right position after a turn - such a maneuver is provided for by the SDA when there are no signs allowing turns from two lanes at once. This skill will help when turning left onto a road with reverse traffic - you can change lanes only after making sure that traffic is allowed in other lanes.

More complex intersections, for example, with the ability to change from two to three lanes after a turn, are usually provided with markings. If it is not there, you should determine your trajectory at the entrance to the intersection and drive, already knowing which lane to occupy: from the right lane to the right, from the left to the left or middle. At such intersections, it is highly undesirable to change lanes, since when turning, you cannot see traffic in neighboring lanes.

Traffic rules allow the occupation of any lane, however, if two cars try to occupy one lane, the violator will be the one with the interference on the right.

Conclusion

At a regulated intersection, traffic is more predictable - green lights up for drivers in two opposite directions at the same time, for those moving along a transverse road, red lights up. At intersections with traffic lights with an additional section, you should be much more careful - the variability in the behavior of traffic participants increases. The driver has an absolute advantage when turning left if he starts moving along the green main and green arrow.

For many drivers of Kazakhstan, some signs remain a mystery. Especially the ones that look alike.

Sometimes, I became a witness when a seemingly experienced driver hesitated at the entrance to the intersection: is it possible to make a left turn? And the reversal? There seemed to be no prohibition signs, but uncertainty took over, and he drove to the next one.

Left turn and U-turn signs are the most confusing for most drivers. How to remember them? Let's try this way.

Easy to remember: if the sign is in a red circle, then it is forbidding. If the red line crosses out the direction, it’s all the more clear that you can’t go there. But many do not know that it has nothing to do with the turn and it only prohibits the left turn, and nothing more.

Forbids left turn
Allows reversal

The sign, as in the case above, is also obvious. But because of the ban on the U-turn, it seems to many that it also prohibits the left turn. This is not true. Remember: prohibition signs introduce certain traffic restrictions, that is, only in the indicated directions! This sign does not prohibit a left turn.

Forbids reversal
Allows left turn

These signs in the city are much more common than prohibitory ones. It may seem strange, but they will be stricter. It’s better to remember this way: where the arrows in a round sign on a blue background show, we go there.

Forbid turn left and turn
Allow movement only straight, only right, straight or right

Signs 4.1.3 "Movement to the left" and 4.1.4 "Movement straight and to the left"

And once again: where the arrow in a round sign on a blue background points, we go there. Moreover, if this sign allows a left turn, then it also allows a U-turn.

Allow turn left and turn

We see these signs in front of intersections, usually from above. They tell the driver which lane is allowed to go where. When a sign shows a turn from the extreme left lane, then it does not prohibit a U-turn, unless, of course, there is a forbidding U-turn.

A sign of this kind can prohibit a left turn and a U-turn.

5.11.1 "Place to turn"

We can meet this sign in places where you can turn around. But often there is a passage opposite the turnaround area (entrance to the yard or to the gas station), and drivers use this - you can turn around, and therefore turn too. Not! Traffic rules in this case only allow a U-turn! Easy to remember: you are only allowed to move in the indicated direction.

Allows reversal
Forbids left turn

If such a sign hangs in front of the intersection, then the crossed street is one-way, it does not prohibit driving straight ahead. The arrow points to the right, which means that when you turn left, you will find yourself in the oncoming lane.

And then what about the reversal? Is it possible? Specifically, this sign does not prohibit it, unless, of course, next to or above the intersection there are no others described above that would really prohibit a U-turn. Strange, right?

Allows go straight, turn right and turn around
Forbids left turn

Everything is put in its place by paragraph 7 of section 8 of the SDA of the Republic of Kazakhstan: the turn (and when turning you have to be guided by the same paragraph) must be carried out in such a way that when leaving the intersection of the carriageways, the vehicle does not end up on the side of oncoming traffic. Having turned around at the intersection, you are in the intersection zone, which means that there is no violation.

Signs 2.6 "Priority to oncoming traffic" and 2.7 "Priority to oncoming traffic"

Signs 2.6 and 2.7 do not refer to turns or U-turns, they are priority signs that tell on a narrow stretch of path who should give way to whom. Due to similar names and arrows, confusion arises - who should give way to whom here? In addition, they are rare, you can just forget their meaning.

Easy to remember: a sign in a red circle usually indicates a ban on something. So right? If you see him, stop to let an oncoming car pass.

If blue, your way.

Amendments are made to this document as necessary. The latest changes came into effect on July 1, 2020. How to turn left according to the rules, read on.

Where is prohibited

You can make a left turn anywhere if there are no prohibition signs. There are no special zones in which this maneuver is prohibited, in contrast to turning around, stopping, and so on.

Signs

Before performing any maneuver, including turning left, you should make sure that there are no prohibition signs.

So, a left turn is prohibited if one of the following signs is installed in front of the intersection:

• turning left is prohibited (3.18.2). The effect of this sign applies exclusively to the intersection in front of which it is installed and does not apply to vehicles carrying passengers that move along the route specified by the city authorities;

  

• straight ahead (4.1.1). If this sign is installed before the intersection, then its effect applies exclusively to it. If the sign is installed on a certain section of the road, then the coverage area ends before the nearest intersection. Sign 4.1.1, installed on any section of the carriageway, does not prohibit the execution of a right turn maneuver to drive into courtyards and other adjacent territories;

  

• movement to the right (4.1.2). The zone of action of this sign is the first intersection of roads. The exception is motor vehicles moving along a certain route;

  

• moving straight and to the right (4.1.4). As in the previous case, the sign applies only to the first intersection of the carriageways and can be ignored by route vehicles;

  

• exit onto a road on which one-way traffic is organized (5.7.1). The sign is installed directly in front of the one-way road. It is necessary to be guided by restrictions for all types of motor vehicles, including those moving along the route;

  

• exit onto a road with a separate lane for public transport (5.13.1). The zone of action of the sign is the intersection of roads in front of which it is installed.



It should be remembered that these signs do not prohibit the execution of the "turn" maneuver, but only limit the possibility of turning left.

Rules for turning left according to traffic rules

Before making a left turn:

• make sure that the maneuver being performed will not interfere with other types of motor vehicles, as well as trams of the oncoming or passing direction;
• change lanes in advance to the leftmost position if the maneuver is unacceptable from other traffic lanes;
• turn on the left turn signal to warn other road users about this maneuver.

So, how to correctly perform the “turn left” maneuver in a given situation if there are no prohibition signs? Let's deal with all the situations in more detail.

From the tram lines

The driver is obliged to make a U-turn from the tram tracks of the same direction if the following conditions are met (clause 8.5 of the SDA):

• tram tracks and carriageways are on the same level;
• tram tracks and the highway are not separated by a solid marking line, since passing through a solid line is prohibited under any conditions;
• on the carriageway in front of the intersection there are no signs that determine the movement in each lane (5.15.1. and 5.15.2).



At an intersection with two lanes

If the signs indicating traffic on the carriageway along the lanes allow the simultaneous execution of a left turn from two lanes, then the maneuver is carried out in accordance with the following rules:

• the trajectory of the turn must be constructed in such a way that the vehicle making the maneuver does not enter the lane intended for movement in the opposite direction (paragraph 8.6 of the traffic rules);
• if marking lines are indicated on the roadway that separate the traffic lanes, it is recommended to move exactly within the indicated boundaries. This will avoid the occurrence of an emergency;
• if the marking lines are not marked on the road, then they are fictitious and are determined in accordance with the dimensions of the truck;
• if the markings at the intersection are in the form of a broken line, then drivers have the right to change lanes from one lane to another. In this case, it is necessary to be guided by the rule "interference on the right";
• if at the intersection the marking lines are solid, then any rebuilding and overtaking are prohibited.



At an unregulated intersection

All intersections located on the carriageway are divided into two main types:

• regulated are those intersections, the priority of traffic at which is determined by a traffic light or a traffic controller;
• Crossroads are recognized as unregulated, the priority of traffic at which is determined independently by drivers in accordance with established road signs.

In turn, unregulated intersections are divided into:

• at unequal intersections, in which one road is the main one, and the second is a secondary one;
• at equivalent intersections (all roads have the same value).

When making a left turn at an unregulated intersection of unequal roads, when driving on a secondary road, you must give way:

• motor vehicles that move along the main road marked with the sign 2.1;

  

• trams moving in the same direction, as they are on the same carriageway;
• all modes of transport approaching the car from the right;
• pedestrians and cyclists.

When turning right at the intersection of equivalent roads, the road gives way to motor vehicles and trams moving on the right side (rule "obstacle on the right").



With traffic light

Regulated road intersections can be equipped with two types of traffic lights:

• a standard traffic light consisting of three sections;
• a traffic light with additional sections, which gives signals when turning and turning maneuvers are allowed.



If there is a traffic light that is not equipped with an additional section, the left turn must be made in accordance with the following rules:

1. You can start the maneuver only after the enabling signal of the traffic light is turned on.
2. You must give way:
   • motor vehicles moving in the opposite direction or making a “turn right” maneuver;
   • tram, if the regulation of the movement of this type of transport is carried out by one traffic light together with cars;
   • pedestrians crossing the carriageway, which the car leaves after the maneuver.
3. It is unacceptable to start making a turn if a traffic jam has formed at the intersection.

If the traffic light installed at the intersection is equipped with an additional section, then it is possible to start maneuvering only after the enabling signal is turned on to the left in the direction of the arrow. In this case, you must also follow all the rules mentioned above.

From a one way road

If a left turn is made to exit a one-way road, then before performing the maneuver, it is necessary to determine:

• what type of intersection is the exit at (regulated or unregulated);
• what signs are installed directly in front of the intersection;
• What signal does the traffic light show?

All of these factors will determine the rules that should be followed when leaving a one-way road and simultaneously turning left.

From the right lane

If there are several lanes on the carriageway intended for the movement of vehicles, the “left turn” maneuver from the right lane is not allowed, as this can lead to an emergency.

In the country

Outside the settlement, all turns to the left, right and U-turns are carried out according to the same rules that apply within the city.

Near the pedestrian crossing

When making a left turn near a pedestrian crossing, it is required to be guided by traffic signals, and in the absence of an automatic traffic controller, priority is given to pedestrians, that is, the driver must give way to people on the zebra.

By bike

Cyclists are full participants in the traffic, which leads to the need to comply with all traffic police rules. Therefore, the left turn by cyclists is carried out according to the rules indicated earlier.

It should be noted that cyclists, as well as drivers of motor vehicles, must warn about the maneuver. Since they do not have direction indicators, warning signals are given by hand.

Gestures are also shown by drivers in the event of a malfunction of the light signaling until the inspection is carried out and the cause of the damage is eliminated.

Hand signals are given according to the following rules:

• the left hand extended to the side or the right hand raised up and bent at the elbow indicate a left turn;
• the right arm extended to the side or the left arm pointing upwards and bent at the elbow indicates a right turn;

Which lane can you turn into?

The turn to the left can be carried out with the exit to any lane of the passing direction, that is, the driver of the vehicle, at his own discretion, can take the extreme right, extreme left or middle position on the carriageway.

When choosing lanes, the following aspects should be guided:

• during any rebuilding and maneuvering, the driver must not interfere with other road users;
• if there are free lanes, the desired position is determined based on the further route. For example, if after a turn the driver intends to stop, then it is recommended to immediately take the extreme right position, from which further maneuvering will be easier.

Making a left turn causes many difficulties, especially for drivers who do not have much experience in operating road transport.

It is for this reason that in driving schools and on various Internet sites there are many recommendations that should be followed with this type of maneuvering.

• slow down as you approach an intersection. This allows you to get additional time for a correct assessment of the traffic situation, familiarization with the markings and road signs installed near the intersection;
• early rebuilding to the extreme left position, even if it is possible to make a turn from other lanes of the carriageway. This also allows you to get additional time for orientation and eliminate the possibility of violating the traffic rules if the signs indicating traffic along the lanes are absent for any reason;
• Turning on the turn signal in advance allows you to warn drivers about the proposed maneuver in a timely manner;
• after entering the intersection, it is recommended to stop approximately 1 m from the crossed carriageway. This maneuver will allow you to learn in time about the approach of other types of vehicles and provide priority in accordance with the established road signs;
• do not cut the corner of the turn to speed up the maneuvering.

Firstly, this action is contrary to traffic rules, as the driver unintentionally enters the oncoming lane. Secondly, it can lead to the creation of interference and, as a result, an emergency.

In order to identify novice drivers in the traffic flow and exercise additional caution when maneuvering, traffic rules provide for the need to install a special sign on the rear window of the car.

Failure to do so may result in administrative penalties.

Penalties for violation

Failure to follow traffic rules. Including the incorrect execution of a left turn is an administrative offense and is punishable in accordance with the Administrative Code (CAO) in force in the Russian Federation. Offenses related to the movement of road transport are assigned to this document.

For the incorrect execution of the “left turn” maneuver, the driver can be punished:
