Do I need to wait for the red light to make a U-turn at a designated area?

[DeKimberly]

If there is no U-turn indicator light, and the gap is marked with a dashed line, the U-turn is not affected by the left-turn signal light and does not require crossing the pedestrian crossing. If the gap is marked with a solid line, then the U-turn must cross the pedestrian crossing and is subject to the left-turn signal light. Making a direct U-turn may result in being photographed or penalized by on-site traffic police. If you need to cross the pedestrian crossing to make a U-turn, you must yield to pedestrians: Pedestrians walking on the right side of the road's crosswalk, not reaching the centerline of the road. Vehicles driving on the left side of the road should slow down and ensure safety before proceeding through the crosswalk. Pedestrians waiting outside the boundary line between motorized and non-motorized lanes. If they have not entered the roadway, vehicles should slow down and ensure safety before proceeding through the crosswalk. When pedestrians cross the boundary line between motorized and non-motorized lanes, vehicles that do not stop and yield are committing a violation and should be penalized. When pedestrians enter the motorized lane along the crosswalk, the motorized vehicle should slow down and ensure safety before proceeding through the crosswalk. If the vehicle does not stop and yield, it is committing a violation and should be penalized. Pedestrians waiting at the centerline of the road without entering the motorized lane. If vehicles do not stop and yield, it is a violation and should be penalized. Pedestrians crossing the centerline of the road and entering the lane. If vehicles do not stop and yield, it is a violation and should be penalized. When the road is divided by a green belt, pedestrians waiting in the middle of the road must be yielded to. Vehicles should slow down and ensure safety before proceeding through the crosswalk. Scenarios where U-turns are allowed: If there is a U-turn sign at the intersection, you can make a U-turn. If there is a U-turn signal light, follow its instructions. If there is no signal light, make the U-turn based on the specific situation without obstructing other vehicles or pedestrians. If there is no explicit prohibition of U-turns or left turns at the intersection, U-turns are allowed. "No explicit prohibition" means there are no "No U-turn" or "No Left Turn" signs, and the centerline is not solid. U-turns are also allowed in yellow grid zones. Yellow grid lines indicate no-parking zones at intersections prone to congestion due to temporary stops. While vehicles cannot stop in these zones, they can make U-turns if there is no central barrier. If there is a U-turn signal light at the intersection, follow it—only proceed on green. If "No Left Turn" and "U-turn Allowed" signs appear together, U-turns are allowed, but left turns are prohibited. Note that "No U-turn" does not mean "No Left Turn." Precautions when making a U-turn at an intersection: Observe road markings. If the line is solid, U-turns are prohibited under any circumstances. Continue driving to find a suitable U-turn location. If there is a "No Left Turn" sign ahead, even if there is no explicit "No U-turn" sign, U-turns are not allowed at that intersection because U-turns inherently involve a left turn. U-turns must be made from the innermost left-turn lane. If you are in the second left-turn lane, you cannot make a U-turn at that intersection. Always yield to vehicles going straight before making a U-turn. If you interfere with straight-moving traffic, you will bear full responsibility for any accidents. Near the intersection stop line, lanes usually have guiding arrows. The leftmost lane is not always a left-turn lane. If it has a straight arrow, U-turns are prohibited even if there are no explicit "No U-turn" signs.
