No Right Turn Sign
Shape: Circular (octagonal for Stop, inverted triangle for Give Way) · Colour: White with red border (prohibitory); blue with white symbol (positive mandatory, e.g. compulsory turn, keep left)
Right turns are prohibited at this junction.
What It Means
The No Right Turn sign prohibits right turns, which on Indian roads means crossing the oncoming traffic lane. This sign is posted where right turns create high conflict: near busy intersections with fast oncoming traffic, before medians that block the turn, and at junctions where right-turn vehicles would block through traffic flow for extended periods.
📍 Where You'll See It
Near expressway exits, at complex city intersections, on divided roads where median doesn't have a turn cut, and during peak-hour traffic management.
✅ What You Must Do
Continue straight or turn left. Use a U-turn point further ahead if you need to go right.
⚠️ Common Mistake
Right-turning when the oncoming road appears empty — gaps in busy traffic can close rapidly.
⚖️ Legal Note
Violation: Sec. 119 / 177 MV Act. Fine: ₹500–₹1,000.
