You can make a U-turn at a roundabout sign. Here are the relevant details: 1. According to the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China": Motor vehicles are not allowed to make a U-turn at locations with no U-turn or no left-turn signs or markings, as well as at railway crossings, pedestrian crossings, bridges, sharp curves, steep slopes, tunnels, or sections prone to danger. 2. Other regulations: Motor vehicles can make a U-turn at locations without no U-turn or no left-turn signs or markings, but must not obstruct the passage of other normally moving vehicles and pedestrians.
I remember when I first learned to drive, I always liked to try making U-turns at roundabouts, thinking it was convenient. But once, I turned counterclockwise in a roundabout and almost collided with an oncoming car, even getting yelled at by pedestrians. Since then, I've behaved—roundabouts are primarily for clockwise traffic, and U-turns can cause chaos and accidents. Many traffic regulations explicitly prohibit this behavior, so it's best to find a straight intersection or a designated U-turn spot. Safety first—now I remind myself not to take shortcuts, as tickets and risks aren't worth it. Developing good habits makes the roads smoother and safer for everyone.
