MUTCD R10-12 Left Turn Yield On Green Traffic Sign
The MUTCD-compliant "Left Turn Yield On Green" sign (R10-12) enhances traffic control by supplementing traffic signal systems. Designed according to the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) guidelines, this sign regulates road users at intersections, clarifying left-turn movements and increasing intersection safety.
This sign is part of the broader R10 series, which includes various traffic signal-related signs to ensure drivers' compliance with signal control. Examples 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 gridlock
- USE LANE(S) WITH GREEN ARROW (R10-8) for lane-use signals
- LEFT TURN YIELD ON FLASHING RED ARROW AFTER STOP (R10-27)
These signs are vital for maintaining order and safety at signalized intersections.
