Can You Make a U-turn at Grid Lines?
1 Answers
Grid lines are areas where U-turns are permitted. These grid lines strictly prohibit all vehicles from parking, whether temporarily or for extended periods, to prevent traffic congestion. When there is a stationary vehicle ahead of a yellow grid line, the following vehicle must wait outside the yellow grid line until it is confirmed that there is sufficient space ahead to proceed safely. Other situations where U-turns are allowed include: Presence of U-turn signals or signs: At intersections with U-turn signals, a U-turn can be made when the U-turn signal is green. If there are U-turn signs or lane markings permitting U-turns, drivers may proceed with a U-turn while ensuring their own and others' safety. No U-turn signs but left turns are permitted (no prohibition of U-turns): At intersections where left turns are allowed and there are no signs or markings prohibiting U-turns, drivers can make a U-turn. It's important to note that the maneuver should not interfere with other vehicles and must comply with the left-turn signal. If there is a left-turn waiting area at the intersection, drivers can enter it when the straight-ahead signal is green and wait for the left-turn signal to turn green before making the U-turn. U-turns at dashed lines: U-turns are allowed at both white and yellow dashed lines. For double yellow lines where one side is dashed and the other is solid, U-turns are permitted on the dashed side if it is safe to do so. If the line on your side is solid, U-turns are not allowed. At intersections with such double lines, U-turns can be made on the dashed side, but drivers must not cross the stop line ahead.
