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

[ElijahRose]

U-turns are allowed on white dashed lines, provided there are no signs prohibiting U-turns or left turns, or separate U-turn signal lights. Vehicles can make a U-turn without interfering with normal traffic flow and ensuring safety. Situations where U-turns are allowed: Intersections with U-turn signs allow U-turns: If there is a clear U-turn sign at an intersection, a U-turn can be made. If there is a U-turn signal light, follow the signal's instructions. If there is no signal light, make a U-turn based on the specific situation without obstructing other vehicles or pedestrians. Intersections without explicit prohibitions against U-turns or left turns allow U-turns: If there is no explicit prohibition against U-turns at a location, U-turns are allowed. "No explicit prohibition" means the absence of signs like "No U-turn," "No left turn," or solid center lines, in which case U-turns are permitted. U-turns are also allowed on yellow grid lines: Yellow grid lines are no-parking zones marked at intersections prone to congestion due to temporary parking, entrances of important facilities, or other necessary locations. Any vehicle stopping on these lines (including waiting for traffic lights) is considered a violation. Although stopping is prohibited in yellow grid zones, U-turns are allowed as long as there are no central barriers, effectively making it a "U-turn permitted" zone. Intersections with U-turn signal lights: This is straightforward—if there is a U-turn signal light, follow it. Only proceed with a U-turn when the light is green. When "No left turn" and "U-turn allowed" signs appear together: U-turns are allowed, but left turns are prohibited. However, "No U-turn" does not necessarily mean "No left turn." Things to note when making a U-turn at an intersection: Check road markings—if they are solid lines, U-turns are prohibited under any circumstances. Continue driving to find a suitable U-turn location. If there is a "No left turn" sign ahead, even if there is no explicit prohibition against U-turns, U-turns are not allowed at that intersection because U-turns inherently involve a left turn. U-turns must be made from the innermost left-turn lane. If you are in the second left-turn lane, U-turns are not permitted at that intersection. Always yield to oncoming traffic when making a U-turn. Proceed only if it does not interfere with normal traffic flow, or you will bear full responsibility for any accidents. Near stop lines at intersections, lanes often have guiding arrows. The leftmost lane does not always have a left-turn arrow—if it has a straight arrow, U-turns are prohibited even if there are no explicit "No U-turn" signs. Making a U-turn on a crosswalk is also a traffic violation.
