What does this sign prohibit?
Not quiteCorrect answer: C — Turning right at this location
A red circle with a diagonal slash over a symbol prohibits whatever the symbol shows. Here the symbol is a right-turn arrow, so the right turn itself is banned — at any time and on any signal, unless a plaque limits the hours.
Confusing it with NO TURN ON RED, which only bars the turn while the light is red. This sign bars the turn altogether.
