Do You Need to Wait for the Traffic Light When There Is a U-Turn Sign at an Intersection?

[WilliamLee]

Whether you need to wait for the traffic light when there is a U-turn sign at an intersection depends on the actual situation: 1. Under normal circumstances, as long as there is no separate U-turn traffic light at the intersection, you can make a U-turn directly without waiting for the traffic light; 2. If there is a separate U-turn traffic light, you must wait for the green light to make a U-turn; 3. Before reaching the stop line, if there is a dotted line gap in the middle of the road, you can make a U-turn as long as there is no sign prohibiting U-turns at the gap. According to the Road Traffic Safety Law, vehicles and pedestrians should follow traffic signals; when there is a traffic police officer directing on-site, they should follow the officer's instructions; on roads without traffic signals, they should proceed under the principles of safety and smooth traffic flow.
