Can You Make a U-Turn at an Intersection Where Left Turns Are Prohibited?
1 Answers
U-turns are not allowed at intersections where left turns are prohibited. When driving a motor vehicle, you must not make a U-turn at locations with no U-turn or no left turn signs or markings, as well as at railway crossings, pedestrian crosswalks, bridges, sharp curves, steep slopes, tunnels, or sections of road prone to danger. Violating this rule will result in a three-point penalty on your driver's license. Circumstances under which U-turns are permitted are as follows: Presence of U-turn traffic lights or signs: When there is a U-turn traffic light at an intersection, you can make a U-turn when the U-turn light is green. If there is a U-turn sign or a lane marking indicating U-turns is allowed, you can make a U-turn after ensuring the safety of yourself and others. No U-turn signs but left turns are allowed (no prohibition of U-turn signs or markings): Vehicles can make a U-turn at intersections where left turns are permitted and there are no signs or markings prohibiting U-turns. It is important to note that vehicles must proceed according to the left-turn signal without interfering with the normal flow of other vehicles. If making a U-turn at an intersection with a left-turn waiting area, you can enter the left-turn waiting area when the straight signal is green and wait until the left-turn signal turns green to make the U-turn. U-turns are allowed at dashed lines: Whether it is a white dashed line or a yellow dashed line, U-turns are permitted. In the case of double yellow lines (one solid and one dashed), check if your side is the dashed line—if it is, you can make a U-turn safely; if it is the solid line, U-turns are not allowed.
