Are you confused by the new U-turn signs installed on some traffic signals in Reno?
In an online statement, the City of Reno stated that a new sign that was put on the traffic light at Veteran's and Steamboat Parkways appears to be causing some confusion.
2 News Nevada's Your 2 Cents Anchor Ryan Canaday reached out to the City of Reno recently to clarify for our concerned viewers, explaining that they are utilized during peak traffic hours, which can vary as is explained in our Your 2 Cents segment above.
The city in their online post advises people to follow the signs exactly as they appear.
What this means for drivers is that U-turns are prohibited when the signs are on and permitted when they are off.
According to Road Safety Action International, these types of signs serve as a visible reminder for drivers to adhere to traffic regulations and follow the designated restrictions.
They say respecting the no U-turn sign promotes responsible driving behavior and encourages compliance with traffic laws while enhancing road safety and ensuring smooth traffic flow by preventing potentially dangerous U-turns in certain areas or at specific times.
For reference on a sign being on and off, take a look at the sample image below:
