Can You Turn Left at a Straight Traffic Light?

[Brooklyn]

At an intersection with traffic lights, you cannot make a turn from the straight lane; you should drive according to the designated lane. Regarding U-turns at traffic light intersections: If there is no prohibition against U-turns on the road section, you can make a U-turn, but only when the left-turn signal is green. For specific details, please refer to the following: According to Article 36 of the "Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China": Based on road conditions and traffic needs, roads are divided into motor vehicle lanes, non-motor vehicle lanes, and sidewalks. Motor vehicles, non-motor vehicles, and pedestrians should travel in their respective lanes. On road sections without designated motor vehicle lanes, non-motor vehicle lanes, or sidewalks, motor vehicles should travel in the middle of the road, while non-motor vehicles and pedestrians should travel on both sides. Article 37: Where special lanes are designated on the road, only specified vehicles are allowed to travel within these lanes, and other vehicles are not permitted to enter. Article 49 of the "Implementation Regulations of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China": Motor vehicles are not allowed to make U-turns at locations with signs or markings prohibiting U-turns or left turns, as well as at railway crossings, crosswalks, bridges, sharp curves, steep slopes, tunnels, or other hazardous road sections. Motor vehicles can make U-turns at locations without signs or markings prohibiting U-turns or left turns, provided they do not obstruct the normal passage of other vehicles and pedestrians.
