Posted NO U TURN, California

[edgard2k]

I was heading to a gas station, at a large, busy intersection, with a traffic light; when I saw the green light, I made the U turn.-I couldn't see the sign because of the glare, the posted "NO U TURN" has black and white letters only; not the traditional with the "U" and a RED circle and a line on it. I proceeded safely, (no traffic at the time), also I have pictures of the opposite traffic don't have neither of the "NO U TURN" signs, so it means that they are allowed to make a U turn (it's a double standard); how can I win my case at my hearing ?

You will have to show that either the sign was unlawfully posted or that you did not commit the offense. The fact it was not posted in the other directions is not going to matter as there are a number of reasons for that to occur. You will have to show that the posting of the sign (either in content, position, size, ad nauseum) was in violation of the law or that you did not violate the section for which you were cited.

What code section were you cited for?
