1 Answers
Making a U-turn over a yellow line will result in a deduction of 3 points. Crossing a solid double yellow line to make a U-turn is considered a traffic violation of disregarding prohibited markings, which will be penalized with a fine and a 3-point deduction. Additionally, if a traffic accident occurs, the driver will bear primary responsibility. Scenarios where U-turns are prohibited include: U-turns are prohibited at locations with 'No U-turn' or 'No Left Turn' signs: If there is a 'No U-turn' sign, U-turns are not allowed at that intersection. Since a U-turn is an extension of a left turn, intersections with 'No Left Turn' signs also prohibit U-turns. U-turns are prohibited at crosswalks: U-turns are not allowed on crosswalks. At intersections where U-turns are permitted, drivers must cross the crosswalk before making the U-turn and should not perform the maneuver on the crosswalk. U-turns are prohibited when there is no left-turn lane: Even in the leftmost lane, U-turns are not allowed unless there is a sign permitting left turns. U-turns are prohibited from the second left-turn lane: When a vehicle is in the second left-turn lane, it cannot make a U-turn. In the absence of any directional signs, U-turns are only permitted from the innermost left-turn lane. U-turns are prohibited at solid yellow lines: U-turns are not allowed at solid yellow lines. Even if there is a sign permitting U-turns, drivers must wait for the green light and cross the stop line before making the turn. U-turns are prohibited on highways: Making a U-turn by crossing the central divider on a highway is illegal and will result in a fine and a 12-point deduction. If you miss an exit on the highway, continue to the next exit instead of attempting an illegal U-turn.
