Can you make a U-turn at a solid and dashed yellow line?
1 Answers
You cannot make a U-turn at a solid and dashed yellow line during a red light. Making a U-turn at an intersection during a red light is generally considered running a red light. Even though the line is a combination of solid and dashed, vehicles are not allowed to make a U-turn. Conditions under which a U-turn is allowed at a solid and dashed yellow line: If there are no signs prohibiting U-turns or left turns, and the traffic light is green, you can make a U-turn, but you must not obstruct other vehicles or pedestrians who have the right of way. Conditions under which a U-turn is allowed while driving: The driver should check for any explicit signs prohibiting U-turns. If there are no such signs, observe the road markings—single or double solid yellow lines prohibit U-turns, and you must wait until you have passed the markings before making a U-turn. If the road has two yellow lines in the middle—one solid and one dashed—the side with the dashed line is allowed to make a U-turn. Meaning of the solid and dashed yellow line: When a solid and dashed yellow line is painted on a road section, it separates opposing traffic flows. The side with the solid yellow line prohibits vehicles from overtaking, crossing, or making U-turns, while the side with the dashed yellow line allows overtaking, crossing, or U-turns when it is safe to do so.
