Looks like it’s right at the EBRPD too. That’s funny

This is so they can give you a ticket no matter what you do.

Jokes on you.

U turn is allowed in the left hand left turn lane. No U turn is allowed form the right hand left turn lane. You're welcome.

Seems fine to me. The far left lane can U-turn but not the second to left. However, the far left lane has to yield to cars turning right into the same direction from the intersecting lane.

I agree but the no u-turn sign should be aligned with the right lane. Can't tell if it is or not.


I wouldn't expect your average BR driver to get it though

Right but the signs are aligned stupidly. The no u turn sign is right next to the left lane. Making it look like it’s for that one. Move it over to the right.

“I asked a cop what it meant once.

He said it means ‘Up yours, kid!’”

Shouldn’t the no u turn sign be further right?

Pretty obvious what they intend... but the no u-turn sign should be moved over by the right-hand lane's light.

The No U turn sign is next to the left turning lane rather than the right turning lane, which is a bit confusing. They could have done a better job at that.

I believe that's a two lane turn lane. The left, inside lane can U-turn but they have to yield. The right, outside lane, cannot U-turn.

Thank the FHWA for the spacing. There are spacing requirements in the MUTCD. The yield sign to right turns and the no u-turn sign are spaced the same distance from the signal head to which they are related. I agree that Baton Rouge drivers are idiots though and probably cant figure it out.

Would be fun to argue with a cop on this one, only to still walk away with a ticket regardless. LOL
