Product details
Confirm the exact R2-15 face
Match the scheduled artwork to the black U / TURN / PERMITTED legend and rounded border shown. The face does not contain an arrow, signal symbol, hours, vehicle class or supplementary condition, so do not use it where the traffic design requires any of those differences.
Match the specified size and reflectivity
Choose 450 × 600 mm R2-15(A) or 600 × 800 mm R2-15(B) only when that size matches the approved schedule. The base aluminium face is non-reflective; select the displayed Class 400 option where the project requires the reflectorised construction shown on the Transport for NSW drawing.
Check the movement and signal operation
Confirm the signal phase, turning path, median, right-turn lane, sight distance, pedestrians and opposing movements before the instruction is introduced. The sign does not make an unsuitable manoeuvre safe or override the driver's obligation to give way and avoid obstructing traffic.
Plan approval, support and private-site use
Treat position, support, drilling, height, lateral clearance and installation authority as separate project decisions. On a private site, confirm the traffic-management plan and whether an area open to public driving or parking remains subject to road rules rather than assuming private ownership settles the issue.
Check the sign format before ordering
R2-15 is a regulatory traffic-sign design whose use depends on jurisdiction, signal operation, turning geometry, placement and authority. This listing does not automatically permit a U-turn, make the movement safe or authorise public-road installation.
- Transport for NSW – R2-15 U Turn Permitted sign drawing — The drawing identifies 450 × 600 mm R2-15(A) and 600 × 800 mm R2-15(B), specifies aluminium with a black legend and border, and calls for an AS/NZS 1906.1 Class 400 white reflectorised ground for the NSW road-sign construction. Read source (opens in a new tab)A sign face matching the drawing is not evidence that its placement, support, signal operation or installation has been approved.
- NSW Government – U-turns and three-point turns — NSW guidance says a driver may make a U-turn at traffic lights where a U-turn permitted sign is displayed. The driver must still have a clear view, avoid obstructing traffic, give way to vehicles and pedestrians, and indicate before turning. Read source (opens in a new tab)This is NSW driver guidance, not an Australia-wide installation approval or a substitute for the project traffic design.
Before ordering
- Confirm that the exact U TURN PERMITTED face matches the approved traffic drawing or private-site plan.
- Select 450 × 600 mm R2-15(A) or 600 × 800 mm R2-15(B) only where that size is scheduled.
- Select Class 400 reflectivity where required; do not treat the non-reflective base face as interchangeable.
- Verify the jurisdiction, signal phase, turning geometry, visibility, pedestrians and opposing movements.
- Confirm installation authority, support, drilling, mounting position and any private-site road status separately.

Frequently asked questions
What is printed on this U-Turn Permitted sign?
The approved portrait artwork has a large black U above the exact black legend TURN PERMITTED, with a black rounded border on a white field. It has no curved-arrow pictogram, signal symbol, time condition, vehicle exception or supplementary panel.
Does an R2-15 sign permit U-turns at every set of traffic lights?
No. NSW guidance says a U-turn may be made at traffic lights where a U-turn permitted sign is displayed, but drivers must still have a clear view, avoid obstructing traffic and give way to vehicles and pedestrians. Rules and authority practice differ by jurisdiction, so the sign must be used only with the confirmed traffic design and signal operation.
Which R2-15 sizes and reflective construction are available?
The listed 1.6 mm aluminium faces are 450 × 600 mm R2-15(A) and 600 × 800 mm R2-15(B). The base prices are non-reflective. Class 400 reflective sheeting is available through the optional reflective selection at the displayed surcharge. The Transport for NSW R2-15 drawing specifies a Class 400 white reflectorised ground for its road-sign construction.
Can I install this sign on a public road?
Purchasing the face does not authorise installation. Confirm the jurisdiction, approved traffic drawing, signal phase, turning path, exact position, reflective class, support and installation authority with the relevant road authority or project documents before ordering for a public road.
Can this sign be used on a private road or car park?
Use it only where a confirmed private-site traffic plan calls for the exact instruction. Check the turning geometry, visibility, pedestrians, opposing movements and any access controls. A privately owned area that is open to public driving or parking may still be subject to road rules, so ownership alone is not a release from regulatory checks.
What volume discounts apply?
Automatic volume pricing is 5–9 signs: 8% off, 10–24 signs: 15% off, 25–49 signs: 24% off, 50–99 signs: 32% off, 100+ signs: 40% off. The configurator is the source of truth and updates the unit price as quantity changes.
