(A) Authority to place and obedience to turning markers. The City Traffic Engineer is authorized to place markers, buttons or signs within or adjacent to intersections and thereby require that a different course from that specified in I.C. 9-21-8-21, as amended, be traveled by vehicles turning at an intersection.
(B) Vehicles to comply with turning markers. When authorized markers, buttons, signs or other indications are placed within an intersection indicating the course to be traveled by vehicles turning there, no person operating a vehicle shall turn that vehicle at an intersection other than as directed and required by those markers, buttons or signs.
(C) Authority to place restricted turn signs. The City Traffic Engineer is authorized to determine those intersections at which drivers of vehicles shall not make a right, left or U-turn and shall place official traffic-control devices or signals at those intersections. If the making of those turns is prohibited between certain hours of any day and permitted at other hours, then the same shall be plainly indicated on the devices or signals or they may be removed when such turns are permitted.
(D) Obedience to no-turn signs. Whenever any official traffic-control device or signal is erected indicating that no right or left or U-turn is permitted, no driver of a vehicle shall disobey the directions of any such device or signal.
(E) Limitations on turning around. The driver of any vehicle shall not turn that vehicle so as to proceed in the opposite direction upon any street in a business district and shall not upon any other street so turn a vehicle unless such movement can be made in compliance with I.C. 9-21-8-19, as amended.
(F) Violation. Any person who violates any provision of this section shall be deemed to have committed an ordinance violation and, upon conviction, shall be fined as set forth in § 10.99.
