Can I make a left U-turn when the left turn signal is red?
1 Answers
Whether you can make a left U-turn when the left turn signal is red depends on whether there is a no U-turn sign at the intersection. If there is no prohibition sign, you can make a U-turn. If there is a no U-turn sign or no U-turn marking, you cannot make a U-turn. Additionally, you must not drive over the crosswalk, especially when the light is red. Even if U-turns are allowed, you must not affect other vehicles. Below are the precautions for making a U-turn: U-turns are allowed when there is no prohibition sign: Generally, if there is no no U-turn sign, you can make a U-turn as long as it does not interfere with normal traffic flow and is safe. Typically, the central median barrier will change from a solid line to a dashed line near the intersection. U-turns are allowed on yellow grid lines: You can make a U-turn on yellow grid lines where there is no central barrier. Yellow grid line areas indicate no stopping and are usually set up at intersections prone to congestion due to temporary parking or at entrances to important facilities.
