Rules about U-TURN slots

[PATSYS]

Hi guys,

Is there a general traffic rule or law about inner lanes MUST take a U-TURN or does it have to have a sign that says INNERMOST LANE MUST TAKE U-TURN?

The street is a 3-laner.

Thanks

if it is not forbidden, it is allowed.
if it is not specifically ordered, it may not be performed.
what does the road signage say?

but there are rules on common sense. while one may not get a ticket for not following these common sense rules, one may still get a fender bender.

Spot on dr d. Short, sweet, simple.

Not sure about the law on these things but in general I keep to the center lane until a few hundred meters when I need to turn to avoid getting a ticket. Then I merge into the right lane.

No such thing unless a traffic sign instructs it.

There are intersections with signs that say "left lane must turn left" and if you are in this lane and you go straight you will get a ticket. On u-turn slots i have not seen one that says "this lane MUST take a u-turn" but at the 2 u-turn slots between muñoz market and sm north i have seen cars ticketed for being in those lanes then going straight even though there are no signages to warn drivers.

Why, did you get a ticket?

Most of the time, not always, road arrows tells you what you're allowed or not allowed to do on a lane.



These signs, of course, are self-explanatory. If you wiggle out of it at the last moment, you will get apprehended.

Sobrang labo niyan 1st pic kasi marami sign sa Makati yung first arrow pwede left turn and straight tapos sa next arrow naging straight nalang. Kaya minsan takaw-huli.

I always drive in Makati. You always have ample time and space to move over. Kung late ka na umalis ng papa-kaliwa or kanang lane, then it's really on you.

Sa Quirino yan going to SSH. 1 lane lang yung straight, the rest turning left

Yes boss may ample time pa naman pero nakakalito lang kasi yung 2nd arrow nasa solid lane na. Example yung pagbaba ng Buendia Flyover (BGC) turning left sa Paseo. Yung 2nd lane from the left ganyan scenario. Pero most of the time pinapalusot lang.

these surface signs are easy to see, if there's no traffic.
impossible to see, if traffic is bumper to bumper.
woe to the stranger to the area...

there's one such at the leftmost lane on northbound taft avenue, before p faura. daytime traffic there is usually bumper to bumper.
one arrowhead going straight, and one turning left.
naninita the TEs those on that lane who go straight. i can not believe the TEs do not know such surface signage exists there.

familiar road na kasi sayo as you said your always here, and you probably have not tried driving here ng rush hour, madami din ganyang mga style sa buong metro, at laging may nag aabang na yan sa "trap" a few meters away.

There are other telltale signs on where a particular lane is going. Signages, the way traffic lights are arranged... the three cars in front of you with their blinkers on.... just to name a few.

Granted, there's almost no thought given to our local road traffic signages in their design, but as I've said, you can still pick up cues from around you so you won't end up with a ticket.

good for you, sir, but
obviously, "you are not a stranger to the area".
strangers to the area are so acute of all sensory inputs, they sometimes end up, confused.

Notorious yang area na yan. Lagi may bantay jan. Instead na ayusin traffic, nakabantay lang sila dun sa poste ng LRT2 at naghihintay ng magcocommit ng traffic violation.
