  • (a)

    Whenever authorized signs, markers or buttons indicate that no right or left or U-turn is permitted, no driver shall disobey the direction of such signs, markers, or buttons except as provided in subsection (b).

    (b)

    Whenever authorized signs prohibiting right or left or U-turns include the words "except buses" the driver of a bus as defined in Section 30-202(3), may execute the otherwise prohibited turning movement after yielding the right-of-way to any vehicle approaching from the opposite direction which is within the intersection or so close thereto as to constitute an immediate hazard and to pedestrians lawfully within the intersection or crosswalk. Any operator of a regularly scheduled bus may turn or change lanes or direction of travel contrary to traffic signs and markings, controlling the direction of travel of vehicles, where such movement is necessary for that bus to continue over the established route providing regularly scheduled service.
