#### 11. Sign: Red circle with "P" crossed out

---

#### 13. Sign: Red circle with U-shaped arrow
- Options:
- No Right Turn
- U Turn ✔
- No Left Turn
- No U Turn

✔ Correct: U Turn
> Allows a U-turn (but sometimes it's prohibitive; here, since it's not crossed out, it means *U-turn permitted*).

Wait — actually, in many systems, a red circle with a U-turn arrow means No U Turn if the arrow is crossed out. But here, the arrow is not crossed, so it might be U Turn Permitted.

But looking at the option list:
- "U Turn" is listed
- "No U Turn" is also listed

This sign shows a U-turn arrow inside a red circle, which typically means U-Turn is NOT allowed. So:

✘ Not U Turn
✔ Correct: No U Turn

> Correction: A red circle with a U-turn arrow means No U Turn.

So:
✔ Correct: No U Turn

---

#### 14. Sign: Red circle with diagonal line over right-turn arrow
- Options:
- Traffic Light
- No Right Turn ✔

✔ Correct: No Right Turn

---

#### 15. Sign: Red circle with diagonal line over left-turn arrow
- Options:
- Traffic Light

✔ Correct: No Left Turn
> Prohibits turning left.

---

#### 16. Sign: Red circle with curved arrow (right and left), but no straight line
- Options:
- Max Speed
- Zebra Crossing
- Traffic Light
- No U Turn ✔

Wait — this sign has two arrows forming a U-shape, but it's not crossed out — but the shape suggests a no U-turn? Actually, this is confusing.

But looking again: It's a curved arrow showing a U-turn, inside a red circle → No U Turn ✔

Yes, this is No U Turn.

✔ Correct: No U Turn

---

#### 17. Sign: Traffic light (red, yellow, green)
- Options:
- Max Speed
