Can You Make a U-Turn Where Left Turns Are Allowed?

[NathanRose]

Whether you can make a U-turn at an intersection where left turns are allowed depends on the following situations: No U-turn signal: When driving in the left-turn lane without a U-turn signal, if the vehicle has not crossed the stop line and the intersection has dashed lines or a central barrier with a U-turn passage, you can make a U-turn without being restricted by a red light, but you must yield to other vehicles. If there are no dashed lines at the intersection and no gap in the guardrail, follow the traffic light ahead—you can cross the stop line and pedestrian crossing to make a U-turn when the light is green. With a U-turn signal: When driving in the left-turn lane with a U-turn signal, if there are no dashed lines at the intersection and no gap in the guardrail, follow the U-turn signal—you can cross the stop line and pedestrian crossing to make a U-turn when the light is green. If the vehicle has not crossed the stop line and the intersection has dashed lines, but the U-turn signal is red, U-turns are not allowed. No U-turn signs: At locations with no U-turn signs, U-turns are prohibited during the specified times, and violations will result in penalties and demerit points.
