Besides the obvious that led you to obtain a driver’s license, some New York City road signs are in place to alleviate traffic congestion. One to be aware of is no left turn during certain hours. If you’re caught making an illegal left turn during these hours, you will be ticketed and fined.
“Don’t block the box” is another road sign that is put in place, so drivers don’t end up causing a traffic jam. If you get caught in the middle of an intersection after the light has changed because you didn’t make the right call, you can get a heavy fine.
