Los Angeles Removes Last 'No U-Turn' Signs Linked to Anti-LGBTQ+ Discrimination

City officials celebrate the removal of signs that targeted the LGBTQ+ community in Silver Lake since the 1990s.

The 'No U-Turn' and 'No Cruising' signs were installed in 1997 following complaints about gay men near local bars.
The Silver Lake Neighborhood Council voted to remove 'No Cruising' signs in 2011, but some 'No U-Turn' signs remained.
Councilmember Nithya Raman initiated the removal process after learning about the signs from a podcast.
The final removal ceremony included community leaders and local LGBTQ+ advocates.
Officials emphasized the importance of addressing past discrimination and fostering inclusivity.
