Turks and Caicos Prohibitory Signs
Indicate actions that are not permitted
11 signs in this category
Prohibitory signs indicate actions that are not permitted on Turks and Caicos roads: no entry, no overtaking, no parking, or vehicle-specific restrictions. They set the legal limits you must respect.
Study tip: These are usually circular with a red border, and a red diagonal line means the action shown is banned. Watch for numbers or vehicle symbols that narrow the restriction.
No entry for vehicular traffic
A red disc with a white horizontal bar: no vehicles may enter this road from here. It usually marks the wrong end of a one-way street. Find another route.
No left turn
A white disc with a red surround and a red line through a black left-turn arrow. Turning left is prohibited at the junction ahead.
No overtaking
A white disc with a red surround showing two cars, the right-hand one struck through in red. Do not overtake here. The Rules of the Road also ban overtaking at any corner, junction, bridge or brow of a hill, sign or no sign.
No parking
A blue disc with a red surround and a red diagonal line. Parking is prohibited along this stretch. Leaving your vehicle here is a parking and obstruction ticket offence.
No right turn
A white disc with a red surround and a red line through a black right-turn arrow. Turning right is prohibited at the junction ahead; continue and use another route.
No U-turns
A white disc with a red surround and a red stroke through a black U-shaped arrow. Turning round to face the opposite direction is prohibited here.
