Can You Make a U-Turn at a Red Light at an Intersection?
1 Answers
You cannot make a U-turn at a red light at an intersection. Here are the relevant details: 1. No U-turns allowed: Motor vehicles are not allowed to make U-turns at locations with no U-turn or no left-turn signs or markings, as well as at railway crossings, crosswalks, bridges, sharp curves, steep slopes, tunnels, or other dangerous road sections. 2. General knowledge: At an intersection with a red left-turn light and a green straight light, you cannot make a U-turn because the green straight light means oncoming traffic is also moving straight, and making a U-turn would obstruct their normal flow, which violates traffic laws. When the left-turn light turns green, the oncoming straight light usually turns red, making it safer to perform a U-turn at that time.
