Google street view shows exactly what I'm talking about.

The far left lane of Airline can u-turn on a green arrow. However, at the same time the far right lane on Goodwood also has a green arrow. The cars turning right and south from Goodwood have the right of way over cars making a north to south u-turn on Airline even though both have an arrow.

The lane with the no u-turn sign can only turn left onto Goodwood.

Signals and signs dangling from a wire swinging in the wind. Small town shite..this place is a joke. Make that u-turn and do a burn out, not like you have to worry about the cops.

It is pretty clear what the signage means. However, since each stoplight lines up with a lane, moving the no-turn sign closer to the right-most left turn lane would have made it clearer.

The fact you have to tell Louisiana drivers that speaks volumes

You have to count off the sign groupings and then match them to the lanes. So what if it takes a few light cycles to do it. People behind you won’t get mad.

There are three lanes. You can make a U-turn from the left lane. You can make a left turn but no U-turn from the second lane . It’s not that difficult

Makes little sense that you have to yield to a cross-bound red light however. Those turning right on red typically yield to all traffic situations. The left turning/U-Turners should expect free flow and not yield to a red light driver.

Those signs deal with two different lanes. There are signs like that at the corner of Airline and Old Hammond.

Are yall dumb? It just means the right turning lane can't make a U turn.

Probably should have gotten the whole street view in the picture so then you could see it's a double turn lane and the right hand turn lane is a "No U-Turn" while the Left hand turn lane allows U-Turns but must yield.


Nice fake dig at Baton Rouge though.

u-turn yield to right turn sign. Then the arrow with left turn only sign right next to it. Then No u-turn sign right next to that. Maybe the no u-turn sign should be about six feet to the right? Yeah I'm dumb, dumb for living in this shitbox town. I don't even look at that crap, do what I have to do and be transparent and not affect anybody else's life. Living here is like going back in time 20 years.

How does nobody know what that mean. I have no idea what that street layout is but I understood that there are two turn lanes.

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

Have you never seen a right turn lane at a major intersection that gets a right turn arrow as the cross-bound traffic is allowed to make it's left turn?
