Can You Make a U-Turn at a Left-Turn Intersection?
1 Answers
At intersections where left turns are permitted and there are no signs prohibiting U-turns, you can make a U-turn. Vehicles must use the innermost left-turn lane and follow the traffic signal instructions. Here are some important considerations for making U-turns: Yellow grid areas: Yellow grid lines indicate no-stopping zones. When the light ahead is red, vehicles behind should avoid stopping in this area. However, U-turns are allowed in this zone as long as there is no central barrier. Motor vehicles can perform U-turns in this area. Single solid yellow lines prohibit U-turns: When making a U-turn on a road section, pay attention to the centerline of the road. If it is a solid line, whether single or double yellow lines, U-turns are "prohibited." Some roads have "yellow dashed-solid lines," where one line is solid and the other is dashed. When making a U-turn, observe the line closest to your side. If it's solid, U-turns are prohibited. If it's dashed, U-turns are allowed.
