(A) Generally. The driver of a vehicle intending to turn at an intersection shall do so as follows:
(1) Right turns. Both the approach for a right turn and right turn shall be made as close as practicable to the right-hand curb or edge of the roadway.
(2) Left turns.
(a) Left turns on two-way roadways. At any intersection where traffic is permitted to move in both directions on each roadway entering the intersection, an approach for a left turn shall be made in that portion of the right half of the roadway nearest the center line thereof and by passing to the right of the center line where it enters the intersection or on that portion of the roadway that may be specifically designated for the purpose by appropriate markings, and after entering the intersection, the left turn shall be made so as to leave the intersection to the right of the center line of the roadway being entered. Whenever practicable, the left turn shall be made in that portion of the intersection to the left of the center of the intersection.
(b) Left turns on other than two-way roadways. At any intersection where traffic is restricted to one direction on one or more of the roadways, the driver of a vehicle intending to turn left at any intersection shall approach the intersection in the extreme left-hand lane lawfully available to traffic moving in the direction of travel of the vehicle or on that portion of the roadway that may be specifically designated for the purpose by appropriate markings, and after entering the intersection, the left turn shall be made so as to leave the intersection, as nearly as practicable, in the left-hand lane lawfully available to traffic moving in the direction upon the roadway being entered.
(3) Obedience to signs.
(a) When authorized markers or other indications are placed within an intersection indicating the course to be traveled by vehicles turning thereat, no driver of a vehicle shall disobey the directions of the indications.
(b) Whenever authorized signs are erected indicating that no right or left turn or turn in the opposite direction is permitted, no driver of a vehicle shall disobey the directions of any sign.
(B) U turns prohibited. It shall be unlawful for the operator of any vehicle to turn a vehicle in any roadway so as to proceed in the opposite direction, unless appropriate signs are erected to permit the turns.
