(A) Restriction on turns. The Council, by resolution, may, whenever necessary to preserve a free flow of traffic or to prevent accidents, designate any intersection as one where the turning of vehicles to the left or to the right, or both, is to be restricted at all times or during specified hours. The Public Works Department shall mark by appropriate signs any intersection so designated. No intersection on a trunk highway shall be so designated until the consent of the Commission of Highways to such designation is first obtained. No person shall turn a vehicle at any such intersection contrary to the directions on such signs.
(B) U-turns. U-turns are not allowed unless specifically permitted by a sign or notice. For the purpose of the section, u-turns, in addition to its generally accepted definition, are also considered to include the following:
(1) The parking of a motor vehicle by making a left-hand turn across an opposing lane of traffic;
(2) The backing out of a parking space across the centerline of the roadway; and
(3) The backing out of a parking space in such a manner as to result in the front of the motor vehicle facing in the direction of on-coming traffic.
