Can you make a U-turn on a single white dashed line?

[KathrynLynn]

U-turns are allowed on white dashed lines, provided there are no signs prohibiting U-turns or left turns, or separate U-turn traffic signals. Vehicles can make a U-turn without affecting normal traffic flow and ensuring safety. Scenarios where U-turns are permitted: Intersections with U-turn signs: If there is a clear U-turn sign at the intersection, a U-turn can be made. If there is a U-turn traffic signal, follow the signal's instructions. In the absence of a signal, make the U-turn based on the specific situation, ensuring it does not hinder other vehicles or pedestrians. Intersections without explicit U-turn or left-turn prohibition signs: U-turns are allowed where there are no signs explicitly prohibiting them. 'No explicit prohibition' means the intersection lacks signs like 'No U-turn,' 'No left turn,' or solid center lines, allowing confident U-turns. Yellow grid lines also permit U-turns: Yellow grid lines are no-stopping zones, typically marked at intersections prone to congestion due to temporary stops, important facility entrances, or other necessary locations. Stopping on these lines (including waiting for traffic lights) is a violation. However, U-turns are allowed in yellow grid line areas unless there is a central barrier, as they are equivalent to 'U-turn permitted.' Intersections with U-turn traffic signals: This is straightforward—if there is a U-turn signal, proceed only when it is green. Simultaneous 'No left turn' and 'U-turn permitted' signs: U-turns are allowed even if left turns are prohibited, but 'No U-turn' does not mean 'No left turn.' Points to note when making U-turns at intersections: Observe road markings—solid lines prohibit U-turns under any circumstances. Continue driving to find a suitable spot. If there is a 'No left turn' sign, U-turns are also prohibited at that intersection, as U-turns inherently involve a left turn. U-turns must be made from the innermost left-turn lane. U-turns are not allowed from the second left-turn lane. Always yield to oncoming traffic when making a U-turn. Failing to do so makes you liable for any accidents. Near intersection stop lines, lanes often have directional arrows. Not all leftmost lanes have left-turn arrows; some may have straight arrows, prohibiting U-turns even without explicit signs. U-turns on crosswalks are prohibited and constitute a traffic violation.
