Can You Make a U-Turn at an Intersection?
1 Answers
Whether a vehicle can make a U-turn at an intersection depends on the specific road conditions. Below are the situations where a U-turn is permitted at an intersection. Lanes with U-turn signs: When the U-turn signal light is green, you can make a U-turn while ensuring your own safety. Intersections without U-turn signs but allowing left turns: At intersections where left turns are permitted and there are no signs or markings prohibiting U-turns, you can also make a U-turn. However, the U-turn should not affect the normal flow of other vehicles, and you must follow the left-turn lane signal light. Yellow grid line areas: Although yellow grids are no-stopping zones, as long as there is no central barrier, you can make a U-turn after yielding to normally moving vehicles. Areas with dashed lines on the green belt: Vehicles on the side where the dashed lines are located can make a U-turn there. Note that U-turns in this situation are not controlled by traffic signals, but you must yield to vehicles moving straight. If making a U-turn does not require crossing the lane stop line, you do not need to consider the traffic light and can make a reasonable U-turn. However, if making a U-turn requires crossing the stop line of the left-turn or U-turn lane, you must observe the traffic light. Do not cross the stop line when the light is red.
