The abstract "No Entry" sign was officially adopted for standardization at the League of Nations convention in Geneva in 1931.

125-531: A city center grid; as in the case of Bangalore , India . This is achieved by arranging one-way streets that cross in such a fashion as to eliminate right turns (for driving on left) or left turns (for driving on right). Traffic light systems at such junctions may be simpler and may be coordinated to produce a green wave . Some of the reasons one-way traffic is specified: In the United States, 37 states and Puerto Rico allow left turns on red only if both
150-444: A cycle/foot/bus bridge.

Signs are posted showing which direction the vehicles can move in: commonly an upward arrow, or on a T junction where the main road is one-way, an arrow to
225-636: Is Leicester 's central distributor road network. With the continuing regeneration of the inner city, the Central Ring has become a route within the city centre rather than one that encloses it; especially near the New Walk/Freemen's/ University of Leicester and the Bede Island/Waterside/ De Montfort University districts, to the south and west of the urban core respectively.

250-412: Is traffic that moves in a single direction. A one-way street is a street either facilitating only one-way traffic, or designed to direct vehicles to move in one direction.

Residents may dislike one-way streets due to the circuitous route required to get to
275-498: Is approximately 3.65 miles (5.87 km) anti-clockwise and 3.85 miles (6.20 km) clockwise due to divergent one-way routings to the southeast. Typical distances from the city centre at Every Street to the Central Ring are between 0.4 miles (0.6 km) and 1.2 miles (1.9 km). The road is for the most part circular, but it forms a chevron pointing southwards as it merges into the A426 and A5199 , Aylestone and Welford Roads. It

Towards the end of this section it nears Leicester Tigers ground, and
450-741: The folklore of Eugene, Oregon , the use of one-way streets in the United States started in Eugene itself. In 1941 6th Ave was converted into a one-way avenue by the Highway Department.

475-704: The junction with the re-emerged A6, which heads north as St Margaret's Way in the direction of Loughborough . Burley's Way then passes north-east over the Fosse Way junction roundabout (formerly the A46 , now the A607 , known locally as Belgrave Gate/Belgrave Road), with a flyover for continuing Central Ring traffic. It then becomes St Matthew's Way, before ending up at the St George's Way A47 roundabout described before. As part of Leicester's regeneration it has been proposed to re-connect Wharf Street South and North with
500-405: The left or right. At the end of the street through which vehicles may not enter, a prohibitory traffic sign "Do Not Enter", "Wrong Way", or "No Entry" sign is posted, e.g. with that text, or a round red sign with a white horizontal bar. Sometimes one portion of a street is one-way, another portion two-way . An advantage of one-way streets is that drivers do not have to watch for vehicles coming in

A number of European countries, including Russia and post-Soviet states , use one-way rectangular road signs with a white arrow on a blue background. In Russia and post-Soviet countries, such signs are called as "Exit to a one-way road" ( Russian : Выезд на дорогу с односторонним движением ) and are placed in front of an intersection, often in combination with
575-582: The origin and destination streets are one way. See South Carolina law Section 56-5-970 C3, for example. Five other states – Alaska , Idaho , Michigan , Oregon , and Washington – also allow left turns on red into a one-way street from a two-way street. An attempt was apparently made in 1617 to introduce one-way streets in alleys near the River Thames in London by The Worshipful Company of Carmen who were commissioned by
600-568: The sightseeing traffic was enormous. The Asbury Park Police Chief decided to make the Ocean Avenue one-way going north and the street one block over (Kingsley) in one-way going south, creating a circular route. By the 1950s this " cruising the circuit " became a draw to the area in itself since teens would drive around it looking to hook up with other teens. The circuit was in place until the streets went back to two way in 2007 due to new housing and retail development. Sometimes one-way walking

Starting in the east, with a roundabout, with exits to
