No U-turn
Prohibitory and restriction signs

No U-turn

Do not make a U-turn where this sign applies.

This sign prohibits turning round to travel in the opposite direction. It may apply at a junction or along a signed road section.

A common European design is a red-bordered circle with a U-turn arrow crossed by a red diagonal bar. The US R3-4 places the prohibition symbol on a square white sign.
