Can You Make a U-Turn at an Intersection with Double Yellow Lines?
1 Answers
U-turns are not allowed at intersections with double yellow lines. Double solid yellow lines indicate that overtaking and U-turns are prohibited for vehicles. Making a U-turn at a double yellow line will result in a 3-point penalty and a fine. Other situations where U-turns are prohibited include: U-turns are prohibited where there are 'No U-Turn' or 'No Left Turn' signs: If there is a sign indicating no U-turns, then U-turns are not allowed at that intersection. A U-turn is an extension of a left turn, so if there is a 'No Left Turn' sign at an intersection, U-turns are also prohibited there. U-turns are prohibited when there is no left-turn lane: Even in the leftmost lane, if there is no sign permitting left turns, U-turns are not allowed. U-turns are prohibited from the second left-turn lane: When a vehicle is in the second left-turn lane, it cannot make a U-turn. In the absence of any signs, vehicles can only make U-turns from the innermost left-turn lane. U-turns are prohibited on highways: Crossing the central divider to make a U-turn on a highway is illegal and will result in a fine and a 12-point penalty. If you miss an exit on the highway, continue to the next exit and leave the highway. Do not attempt an illegal U-turn.
