Can you make a U-turn at a circular red light intersection?

Circular red lights do not permit U-turns. U-turns are allowed at green lights on road sections where they are not prohibited. Circumstances under which U-turns are permitted: Presence of U-turn traffic lights or signs: When an intersection has a U-turn traffic light, U-turns are allowed when the U-turn indicator is green; when there is a U-turn sign at the intersection or a U-turn indicator marking on the lane, U-turns can be made while ensuring the safety of oneself and others. No U-turn signs 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. It should be noted that vehicles must proceed according to the left-turn lane traffic light without affecting the normal movement of other vehicles. If making a U-turn at an intersection with a left-turn waiting area, you can first enter the left-turn waiting area when the straight-ahead light is green and wait until the left-turn light turns green before making the U-turn. U-turns are allowed at dashed lines: Whether it's a white or yellow dashed line, U-turns are permitted. For double yellow lines where one side is dashed and the other is solid, check if your side is dashed—if so, U-turns are allowed safely; if it's solid, U-turns are not permitted. If encountering double yellow lines at an intersection, U-turns can be made on the dashed side, but you must not cross the stop line ahead. U-turns are allowed at yellow grid lines: Parking is prohibited in yellow grid line 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 green belts: When the front of the green belt is a dashed line, vehicles on that side can make U-turns from there. When the front of the green belt is a solid line, vehicles must follow the traffic light signals, crossing the pedestrian crossing before making a U-turn, and must not cross the solid line or the pedestrian crossing to make a U-turn. Precautions for U-turns: When making a U-turn, you should turn on the left turn signal in advance, and the maximum driving speed must not exceed 30 kilometers per hour, without hindering other normally moving vehicles and pedestrians.
