(A) Right turns. The operator of a vehicle intending to turn to the right at an intersection or into an alley or driveway shall approach the point of turning in the line of traffic nearest the right-hand edge or curb of the street, and in turning shall keep as closely as practicable to the right-hand edge or curb of the street.
(B) Turning left. The operator of a vehicle intending to turn to the left at an intersection or into a driveway shall approach the point of turning in the lane of traffic to the right of and next to the center of the roadway; and unless otherwise directed by “turning marker” the operator of a vehicle in turning left at an intersection shall pass to the right of the center of the intersection before turning.
(C) Turning markers. The Chief of Police is hereby authorized to place turning markers within or at the entrance to the intersections directing that traffic turning left shall follow a line to travel other than directed in division (B) above. Whenever turning markers have been placed as herein provided, traffic turning left shall follow the line as directed by such marker.
(D) Turning left on “go” signals. The driver of a vehicle intending to turn to the left at an intersection where traffic is controlled by traffic-control signals or by a police officer, shall proceed to make such left turn with proper care to avoid accident and only upon the “green” or “go” signal, unless otherwise directed by a police officer.
(E) Turning right on “stop” signals. The driver of any vehicle which is stopped as close as practicable at the entrance to the crosswalk and to the far right side of the roadway, then at the entrance to the intersection in obedience to a “red” or “stop” signal, may make right turn but shall yield the right-of-way to any pedestrian and other traffic proceeding as directed by the signal at the intersection. This provision permitting a right turn after a stop when facing a steady red light alone or “stop” signal shall not be effective if the City Council prohibits such turn and if a sign is erected at such intersection giving notice thereof.
