Prohibition of turning
The prohibition applies only to the intersection at which or near which the sign is placed, or possibly to the first intersection after the sign. A different area of application may be specified by a supplementary sign.
When you see the sign
You must not turn left at the intersection the sign applies to. Choose a permitted direction of travel well in advance, and follow any lane arrows or mandatory-direction signs.
Rules
- Sign 330.2 prohibits turning left at the relevant intersection.
- The prohibition applies only to the intersection where or beside which the sign is placed, or, if applicable, the first intersection after the sign.
- Once you have passed the intersection the sign applies to, the prohibition ends without a separate end-of-prohibition sign.
- The sign prohibits a specific turning movement and is not a general prohibition on entering or continuing along the road.
Tips
- Look out for the sign early and position yourself in a lane that leads straight ahead or to the right.
- Do not wait until the intersection itself to change lanes if the left-hand lane is used only for left turns.
- If your destination is on the left, continue ahead and find a legal alternative route.
- Pay attention to whether the sign is right next to the intersection or some distance before it; in the latter case, it normally applies to the first intersection after the sign.
Common misconceptions
- Thinking that the sign means no entry. It only prohibits turning left at the relevant intersection.
- Thinking that the prohibition applies to all subsequent intersections along the road. It ends once the intersection the sign applies to has been passed.
- Following the navigation system's instruction to turn left even though the sign prohibits it.
Test yourself
Easy
What does this sign mean?
- AMotor vehicles are prohibited from passing the sign.
- BAll vehicles are prohibited from continuing on the road.
- CTurning left at the relevant intersection is prohibited.
- DDriving onto the road where the sign is located is prohibited.
Medium
The navigation system tells you to turn left at the intersection, but this sign has been placed at the intersection. What do you do?
- AYou stop at the sign because continuing on the road is prohibited.
- BYou continue without turning left and choose another route.
- CYou turn left because the navigation system has selected this route.
- DYou turn left if there is no other traffic.
Hard
The sign is located some distance before the first intersection. After this intersection there is another intersection without a corresponding sign or other restrictions. Where may you turn left?
- AYou may turn left at both intersections.
- BYou may not turn left at either intersection.
- CYou may turn left only at the first intersection.
- DYou may turn left only at the second intersection.
Theory test tip
In the theory test, the sign may be placed before the intersection rather than inside it. The trap is thinking that you can turn left at the first intersection because the sign is not positioned right at the corner.
Did you know
Turn prohibitions are often used where turning left could cause queues, conflicts with oncoming traffic, or dangerous crossings of several lanes. The restriction is local and relates to one specific intersection.
Frequently asked questions
Which intersection does the sign apply to?
It applies to the intersection where the sign is placed. If the sign is placed before an intersection, it applies to the first intersection after the sign.
Can I drive straight ahead or turn right?
Yes, provided this is not prohibited by other signs, signals, road markings or traffic rules. Sign 330.2 only prohibits turning left.
Does the prohibition also apply at the next intersection?
No, not unless it is signed again. The prohibition applies only to the specific intersection the sign has been put up for.
Is this the same as no entry?
No. No entry, sign 302, prohibits driving past the sign from the relevant direction, whereas sign 330.2 only prohibits turning left at the intersection.
