How many points are deducted for making a turn where it is prohibited?

Making a turn where it is prohibited results in a deduction of 3 points and a fine. Below is a relevant introduction to situations where motor vehicles violate prohibited traffic markings: 1. Driving over or crossing single or double solid yellow lines during operation. 2. Parking temporarily or for an extended period in no-parking zones. 3. Making a U-turn where it is not allowed or turning left at an intersection where left turns are prohibited constitutes a violation of prohibited traffic markings. Prohibited markings include solid yellow lines on the ground and no-parking signs; driving over them violates these markings. 4. Failing to drive in the corresponding lane as indicated by road markings at an intersection is a violation of prohibited traffic markings.
Last time I was driving, I accidentally made a left turn at an intersection where there was clearly a 'No Left Turn' sign posted. I got caught by a traffic camera and was immediately deducted 3 points and fined 200 yuan. Only afterward did I remember that it was a school zone with heavy traffic during peak hours, where turning carelessly could easily cause congestion or hit pedestrians. Since then, I've been extra careful to pay attention to roadside signs every time I drive, making it a habit to slow down and observe—safe driving is the most important thing. Don't be like me trying to save time; getting points deducted is minor, but causing an accident is something you'll regret. Actually, traffic rules like this are designed to protect everyone. Spending a little more time learning the signs can help you avoid a lot of trouble.
