MUTCD R10-27 Left Turn Yield On Flashing Red Arrow After Stop Sign
The MUTCD-compliant "Left Turn Yield On Flashing Red Arrow After Stop" sign (R10-27) is specifically designed to improve traffic control by supplementing traffic signal systems. It follows the guidelines established by the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD), ensuring compliance with national standards. These signs are installed at intersections to provide clarity on permitted left-turn maneuvers, particularly when a flashing red arrow is present.
As part of the R10 series, this sign is one of many used to enhance signal control. Other related signs include:
- LEFT ON GREEN ARROW ONLY (R10-5)
- STOP HERE ON RED (R10-6 or R10-6a) for stop line compliance
- DO NOT BLOCK INTERSECTION (R10-7) to prevent obstruction
- USE LANE(S) WITH GREEN ARROW (R10-8) for lane control
- LEFT TURN YIELD ON GREEN (R10-12)
These signs help drivers safely navigate intersections, ensuring efficient traffic flow and minimizing the risk of accidents.
