Can you make a U-turn when turning left at a red light?

You can make a U-turn when turning left at a red light if there are no signs or markings prohibiting U-turns (or left turns) at the intersection. Whether the light is red or green, the U-turn is legal in such cases. However, if there are clear signs indicating "When the left turn light is green" or "When the red light is on," you must follow the specified signal timing for the U-turn. According to regulations: when there is no dedicated U-turn signal or other traffic signs regulating U-turns, vehicles can make a U-turn during any traffic light phase. There are two types of red lights: circular signals and arrow signals. When there is no right-turn arrow signal at an intersection, right turns are not affected by the circular signal or the straight arrow signal.
