Can I Make a U-Turn to the Left at a Red Light Ahead?

[SanValentina]

No, generally you cannot make a U-turn when the left-turn red light is on. Vehicles can make a U-turn at locations where there are no signs or markings prohibiting U-turns or left turns, but they must not obstruct the normal passage of other vehicles and pedestrians. More details are as follows: U-turns without crossing the stop line: If there is a dashed line or a turning junction near the guardrail when the light turns red, a U-turn can be made at the red light. However, if the vehicle has reached the stop line, a U-turn is not allowed. If the vehicle has not yet reached the stop line and there is a dashed line on the ground, a U-turn can be made even if the light is red. U-turns are not allowed on the side with a solid line. U-turns without crossing the stop line when there is a U-turn signal: Although traffic regulations state that you do not need to observe the traffic signal when making a U-turn without crossing the stop line, road conditions vary in each province of China. Therefore, it is best to follow the traffic light instructions when making a turn.
