Can You Make a U-Turn on a Single Yellow Line on the Road?
1 Answers
A single yellow line, if solid, strictly prohibits crossing for actions like overtaking, turning, or making a U-turn. Under normal driving conditions, you should not cross the line unless under special circumstances. If the single yellow line is dashed, you may overtake or make a U-turn as long as it is safe to do so. Circumstances under which a U-turn is permitted include: Presence of a U-turn signal or sign: If there is a traffic signal allowing U-turns at an intersection, you may make a U-turn when the U-turn signal is green. If there is a U-turn sign or a lane marking indicating U-turns, you may proceed with a U-turn after ensuring the safety of yourself and others. No U-turn sign but left turns are allowed (no prohibition signs for U-turns): At intersections where left turns are permitted and there are no signs or markings prohibiting U-turns, vehicles may make a U-turn. It is important to note that the maneuver should not disrupt the normal flow of other vehicles and must follow the left-turn signal. If making a U-turn at an intersection with a left-turn waiting area, you may first enter the waiting area when the straight signal is green and proceed with the U-turn once the left-turn signal turns green. U-turns are allowed at dashed lines: Whether the dashed line is white or yellow, U-turns are permitted. For double yellow lines with one solid and one dashed, check if your side is the dashed line. If it is, you may make a U-turn if safe; if it is solid, U-turns are not allowed.
