California road sign R10-16 — Requires U-turning vehicles to yield to right-turning traffic

MUTCD R10-16 · Regulatory signs

Requires U-turning vehicles to yield to right-turning traffic

What it means

Requires U-turning vehicles to yield to right-turning traffic.

What to do about it

It is a regulatory sign: it states a law you must obey, not a suggestion. Ignoring it is a citable violation. (MUTCD R10-16.)

Practice this on the real test format

Signs are the part of the DMV written test people fail on, because reading them is a skill rather than a fact to memorize. Aprobify drills all 1034 of them, and tells you why each answer is what it is.
