Can You Make a Left Turn from a U-Turn Lane?
1 Answers
A U-turn lane cannot be used for making a left turn. Generally, when there is a dedicated U-turn lane, there is often a left-turn lane adjacent to it. In such cases, vehicles making a U-turn and those turning left should use their respective lanes. If you make a left turn from a U-turn lane, it constitutes "driving not in accordance with the prescribed lane," which may result in penalty points and a fine. Traffic Regulations: Based on road conditions and traffic needs, roads are divided into motor vehicle lanes, non-motor vehicle lanes, and pedestrian walkways. Motor vehicles, non-motor vehicles, and pedestrians should travel in their respective lanes. If a road is not divided into motor vehicle lanes, non-motor vehicle lanes, or pedestrian walkways, motor vehicles should travel in the middle of the road, while non-motor vehicles and pedestrians should travel on the sides. Implementation Regulations of the Road Traffic Safety Law: At intersections with marked directional lanes, enter the appropriate lane based on your intended direction. When turning left, turn from the left side of the intersection center point. Activate the turn signal when turning, and use low beams when driving at night. When turning right and encountering a vehicle in the same lane waiting for a traffic signal, stop and wait in sequence. At intersections without directional signal lights, turning motor vehicles must yield to straight-moving vehicles and pedestrians. Right-turning vehicles from the opposite direction must yield to left-turning vehicles.
