Do I need to watch for red lights when making a U-turn at an opportune moment?

[SanCollin]

Making a U-turn at an opportune moment does not require observing traffic lights. When going straight, both double dashed lines and double yellow dashed lines allow U-turns without penalty. U-turns are prohibited on solid lines: Whether it's a single yellow line or double yellow lines, as long as they are solid, crossing is strictly prohibited. This includes actions like overtaking, turning, or making U-turns. Under normal driving conditions, you should not cross these lines. Precautions for U-turns on dashed lines: When overtaking or making a U-turn on dashed lines (whether single or double yellow), ensure safety first. Single yellow lines are typically used on roads with up to four lanes (including bicycle lanes), while double yellow lines are generally used on wider road surfaces.
