Can You Make a U-Turn When Encountering a Red Light While Turning Left?

[DiJace]

Generally, you cannot make a U-turn when encountering a red light while turning left, but if there is a dashed line before the stop line, you can make a U-turn at the dashed line. Below is relevant information about making a U-turn during a red light: General Situation: When there is no 'No U-Turn' sign at the intersection, the left-turn lane allows a U-turn during a green light but prohibits it during a red light. No U-Turn Sign: When a 'No U-Turn' sign is present at the intersection, the left-turn lane does not serve as a U-turn lane, and U-turns are not allowed in the left-turn lane, regardless of the traffic signal. Dashed Line Before Stop Line: If there is a dashed line in the left-turn lane or a dedicated U-turn lane, you must complete the U-turn within the dashed line or in the U-turn lane, regardless of the traffic signal. Solid Line Before Stop Line: If there is a solid line before the stop line, you can only make a U-turn after crossing the stop line. If there is a U-turn traffic signal, follow its instructions. If there is no U-turn signal, follow the left-turn signal to make a U-turn.
