Can You Make a U-Turn Over Double White Dashed Lines?
1 Answers
Double white dashed lines allow U-turns. Roads with yellow single dashed lines, yellow double dashed lines, white single dashed lines, or white double dashed lines all permit U-turns, turns, and overtaking—provided safety is ensured and normal traffic flow is not obstructed. Other scenarios permitting U-turns include: Presence of U-turn traffic lights or signs: At intersections with dedicated U-turn traffic signals, U-turns are allowed when the indicator is green. If U-turn signs exist at the intersection or U-turn markings appear on the lane, executing a U-turn is permitted after ensuring safety for all road users. No U-turn signs but left turns allowed (absence of no U-turn signage): Vehicles may U-turn at intersections permitting left turns where no prohibitory U-turn signs/markings exist. Note that drivers must follow left-turn signal indications without disrupting other vehicles. For intersections with left-turn waiting zones, enter the waiting area during the straight green light, then complete the U-turn when the left-turn signal turns green. U-turns permitted at dashed lines: Both white and yellow dashed lines authorize U-turns. For dual yellow lines (one solid, one dashed), U-turns are allowed only from the dashed-line side when safe; solid lines prohibit U-turns. At intersections with such markings, U-turns may initiate from the dashed side without crossing the stop line ahead.
