In conclusion, based on the comprehensive review of Title 39, the MUTCD, and the relevant UVC provisions, it is our professional determination that left turns into and out of a private driveway across a double-yellow line or striped median are not prohibited under New Jersey law. Double-yellow markings do not, on their own, restrict left-turn movements. Such turns may only be prohibited where an official traffic-control device—such as a “No Left Turn” sign—has been installed by the roadway authority. The governing regulatory documents collectively support this interpretation, confirming that left-turn access across painted medians is permissible unless expressly restricted.
