What It Means
The Compulsory Turn Right sign requires all vehicles to turn right at the junction. Like its left-turn counterpart, this is an absolute instruction. It is typically placed at lane splits, road terminators, and locations where straight-ahead travel or left-turns create conflict with road design or traffic flow.
📍 Where You'll See It
At certain highway interchanges, road-end junctions, and intersections where only right-turns are permitted for the traffic stream.
✅ What You Must Do
Turn right as directed. Signal your right turn well in advance.
⚠️ Common Mistake
Assuming that if no other traffic is present, you can ignore the direction and go straight.
⚖️ Legal Note
Violation: Sec. 119 / 177 MV Act. Fine: ₹500.
