No U-Turn, meaning also no left turn??

The traffic signs should be specific. "No U turn" means no U turn. If the traffic authority wanted to have no left turn, it should put "No Left Turn" sign also.

Yup, this should be the case to avoid confusion. With the way a lot of our roads are structured, whether or not an automatic 'no left turn' or 'no u turn' should be observed when only one of the two signs is posted is subject to too much interpretation. To simplify things, 'no left turn' only, should just mean no left turn.

correct. for you to break a law, the law has to be there in the first place. same goes with ordinances, kung walang ordinance against it, then wala kang ginawang mali (sa mata ng batas). walang automatic-automatic sa batas. kung walang nakalagay na "no left turn" dun, therefore, hindi bawal mag-left turn dun.

...pero pag no u-turn sign lang, pwede pa mag-left turn (example: Ayala Ave. cor. Yakal - tapat ng Makati Central Fire Station)...

not always. ako muntik na madale similar sa ganyan. apparently one way pala yun pinasukan ko. sinabi ko sa apprenhending officer wala naman sign na one way ah..sagot sakin e dapat daw alam ko...sa isip ko, ano ako psychic? pero hindi ko sinabi baka mapikon e. nakipag usap lang ako ng malumanay. bandang huli sabi nya kasalanan ng mga MMDA yan... hindi pinalitan yung sign matapos matanggal nung Typhoon Milenyo... pinaalis rin ako...

I think mali yung nanghuli sa yo kasi I've seen some streets that have BOTH No U-Turn AND No Left Turn na signs magkatabi naka post (positioned one over the other) so meaning that there are locations wherein you can turn left but cannot make a U-Turn.

Malapit na kasi pasko eh, baka nag-iipon yung officer nayun

.

Sipag!

dito sa may makati ave no U turn pero pwede left turn ...
dalawa naman kasi ang sign kapag pareho hindi pwede yung dalawang sign na yun ang nakalagay ... pero kung no U turn lang isa lang sa dalawa na sign na yun ang nakalagay .. kung wala nakalagay mag reklamo ka kinokotongan ka lang nyan ...

sadly yan ang problema sa bansa natin. who's to say na hindi yung kotong cop mismo ang nagtanggal ng sign para makakotong siya sa mga unsuspecting motorists? madami ngang lugar na kung saan yung mga "one way" sign e nakasulat lang sa cardboard. pwede na ba yun? dapat conforms to specific standards ang mga sign. otherwise, kahit sinong ponsio pilato pwedeng maglagay ng sign. worse, kapag nag-argue ka sa kotong cop, kotong lang ang kakalabasan.

sa mga nabasa ko sa post,
isa lang un mas may katwiran
pag may no left turn sign, bawal rin ang mag uturn
pero tinanggal na rin nila ang signboard na yon sa manila..
at nakakapag left turn na ang mga sasakyan pati ako...
kahit may pulis pa wala nang nagsisita
ano kaya ibig sabihin nito? pwede na?
