Do I need to observe the left-turn traffic light when making a U-turn?

When there is a U-turn sign, you need to follow the left-turn traffic light signal to make a U-turn. A U-turn is only permitted when the left-turn signal is green. Permissible U-turn scenarios are as follows: Presence of U-turn signal lights or signs: At intersections with U-turn signal lights, a U-turn is allowed when the U-turn indicator is green. At intersections with U-turn signs or lanes marked with U-turn indicators, a U-turn can be made after ensuring the safety of yourself and others. No U-turn sign but left turns are allowed (no prohibition of U-turn signs or markings): Vehicles can make a U-turn at intersections where left turns are permitted and there are no prohibitive U-turn signs or markings. It's important to note that vehicles must proceed according to the left-turn lane signal without disrupting the normal flow of other vehicles. If making a U-turn at an intersection with a left-turn waiting area, you may enter the waiting area when the straight-through signal is green and wait until the left-turn signal turns green to complete the U-turn. U-turns are allowed at dashed lines: Whether it's a white or yellow dashed line, U-turns are permitted. For double yellow lines with one solid and one dashed, check if your side is the dashed line; if so, a U-turn is allowed safely. If it's a solid line, U-turns are prohibited. At intersections with such markings, U-turns can be made on the dashed side without crossing the stop line ahead. U-turns are allowed at yellow grid lines: Parking is prohibited in yellow grid areas, but as long as there is no central barrier, you can make a U-turn here after yielding to normally moving vehicles. U-turns are allowed on the dashed side of a green belt: When the front of the green belt is marked with a dashed line, vehicles on that side can make a U-turn from there. If the green belt front is a solid line, vehicles must follow the traffic signal, cross the zebra crossing before making a U-turn, and must not cross the solid line or zebra crossing to turn.
