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 right at the intersection covered by the sign. Choose another legal route, such as continuing straight ahead or turning left, provided that other signs, road markings and traffic conditions allow it.
Rules
- Skilt 330.1 prohibits turning right at the relevant intersection.
- The prohibition applies only to the intersection where or beside which the sign is placed, or, where applicable, the first intersection after the sign.
- The sign prohibits the right turn itself, not all further driving past the sign.
- The prohibition also applies to cyclists, unless a supplementary plate or other regulation expressly provides an exception.
- Instructions from the police or another person authorised to regulate traffic take precedence over the sign.
Tips
- Look for the sign well in advance and position yourself in a lane that allows you to choose a legal direction.
- Check whether a supplementary plate specifies a time period, vehicle group or other exceptions.
- Do not wait until you are in the intersection to change your plan; instead, continue in a legal direction and find an alternative route.
- Also follow lane arrows, traffic lights and other signs that may restrict which other directions you can choose.
Common misconceptions
- Some people interpret the sign as «No entry». The sign only prohibits turning right at the specific intersection; it does not necessarily prohibit continuing straight past the sign.
- Some people think the prohibition applies to all subsequent intersections. It applies only to the intersection where or beside which the sign is placed, or, where applicable, the first intersection after the sign.
- Some people assume that cyclists can always turn right. A bicycle is a vehicle, so the prohibition also applies to cyclists unless an exception is indicated.
Test yourself
Easy
What does this sign indicate?
- ATurning right is prohibited at the relevant intersection.
- BMotorcycles and mopeds are prohibited on this road.
- CPassing the sign in this direction of travel is prohibited.
- DAll types of vehicles are prohibited on this road.
Medium
You encounter this sign just before an intersection. You want to drive straight ahead at this intersection and turn right at the next intersection. There is no other regulation. What do you do?
- AI drive straight ahead and avoid turning right at all subsequent intersections.
- BI drive straight ahead and turn right at the next intersection.
- CI stop before the sign and choose another road onward.
- DI turn right at the first intersection if the road is clear.
Hard
A police officer clearly signals you to turn right at the intersection, even though this sign is present. What do you do?
- AI follow the police officer's signal and turn right.
- BI stop and wait until the police officer leaves the intersection.
- CI follow the sign and continue straight through the intersection.
- DI follow the sign and turn around before reaching the intersection.
Theory test tip
A common trap is confusing Skilt 330.1 with Skilt 302 «Innkjøring forbudt». Look for the black right-turn arrow with a red diagonal slash: It is the turning movement to the right that is prohibited.
Did you know
The sign may be placed before the intersection rather than right beside the turn-off itself; in that case, it normally applies to the first intersection after the sign.
Frequently asked questions
Can I continue straight ahead when I see the sign?
Yes, the sign only prohibits turning right. You may continue straight ahead if the lane, traffic lights, other signs and traffic conditions allow it.
Does the prohibition apply at all intersections further along the road?
No. It applies only to the intersection where or beside which the sign is placed, or, where applicable, the first intersection after the sign.
Does the sign also apply to cyclists?
Yes, as a general rule, the turning prohibition also applies to cyclists. A supplementary plate or other specific regulation may provide an exception.
What should I do if I am already in a lane leading to the right?
You must not make the prohibited right turn. Follow the legal lane direction if you can do so without violating road markings or creating danger, and then choose an alternative route.
