(A) Required position, method of turning at intersections. 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 a right turn shall be made as close as practicable to the right-hand curb or edge of the roadway.
(2) Left turns. The driver of a vehicle intending to turn left at an intersection shall approach the intersection in the extreme left-hand lane lawfully available to traffic moving in the direction of travel of such vehicle. 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 such direction upon the roadway being entered. Whenever practicable, when leaving a two-way roadway, the left turn shall be made in that portion of the intersection to the left of the center of the intersection.
(B) Vehicle turning left. The driver of a vehicle intending to turn to the left shall yield the right-of-way to any vehicle approaching from the opposite direction which is so close thereto when initiating such turn as to constitute an immediate hazard.
(C) Turns and U-turns.
(1) The Board of Trustees may 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.
(2) Whenever authorized signs are erected indicating that no right or left or U-turn is permitted, no driver of a vehicle shall disobey the directions of any such sign.
(D) Turning, stopping signals required.
(1) No person shall turn a vehicle at an intersection, a public or private road or a driveway unless the vehicle is in proper position upon the roadway, or move right or left upon a roadway unless and until such movement can be made with reasonable safety. No person shall so turn any vehicle without giving an appropriate signal as provided in division (D)(2) below, in the event any other traffic may be affected by such movement.
(2) A signal of intention to turn right or left as required by law shall be given continuously during not less than the last 100 feet traveled by the vehicle before turning.
(3) No person shall stop or suddenly decrease the speed of a vehicle without first giving an appropriate signal in the manner provided in division (D)(2) above to the driver of any vehicle immediately to the rear when there is opportunity to give such signal.
(4) (a) When any person is properly preparing for, attempting or executing a left turn, as described in division (D)(1) above, no other person operating another vehicle immediately following the turning vehicle shall pass or attempt to pass the turning vehicle to the left.
(b) Such other person shall come to a complete stop if necessary at a safe distance behind the person preparing for, attempting or executing the turn or may proceed to the right of the turning vehicle.
