Can I make a U-turn when the right-turn U-turn light is green?

You can make a U-turn when the right-turn U-turn light is green. If there is a sign allowing U-turns at the intersection or a U-turn indicator on the lane, you can make a U-turn while ensuring the safety of yourself and others. Scenarios where U-turns are permitted: Presence of a U-turn signal or sign: You can make a U-turn when there is a signal light allowing U-turns at the intersection. No U-turn sign but left turns are allowed (no prohibition of U-turn signs or markings): Vehicles can make U-turns at intersections where left turns are permitted and no U-turn prohibition signs or markings are present. Note that vehicles must proceed according to the left-turn lane signal without affecting the normal flow of other vehicles. If making a U-turn at an intersection with a left-turn waiting zone, you can first enter the waiting zone when the straight-ahead light is green and then make the U-turn when the left-turn light turns green. U-turns are allowed at dashed lines: Whether it's a white or yellow dashed line, U-turns are permitted. For double yellow lines (one solid and one dashed), check if your side is the dashed line—if so, you can make a U-turn safely; if it's solid, U-turns are prohibited. At intersections with double yellow lines, U-turns can be made on the dashed side but must not cross the stop line ahead. U-turns are allowed at yellow grid lines: Parking is prohibited in yellow grid areas, but as long as there is no central barrier, you can make a U-turn here after yielding to normally moving vehicles. U-turns are allowed on the dashed side of a green belt: When the area in front of the green belt is a dashed line, vehicles on that side can make a U-turn there. If the green belt has a solid line ahead, vehicles must follow the traffic signal, cross the pedestrian crossing before making a U-turn, and must not cross the solid line or pedestrian crossing during the maneuver. Precautions for making U-turns: When making a U-turn, you should activate the left turn signal in advance, maintain a speed not exceeding 30 km/h, and avoid obstructing other vehicles or pedestrians moving normally.
