1 Answers
When making a U-turn, the vehicle body does not need to cross the pedestrian crossing to complete the maneuver. However, the driver must not obstruct other vehicles or pedestrians who are proceeding normally. According to Article 49 of the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China": Motor vehicles are not allowed to make U-turns at locations with no U-turn or no left-turn signs or markings, as well as at railway crossings, pedestrian crosswalks, bridges, sharp curves, steep slopes, tunnels, or other sections of road where hazards are likely to occur. Additional reference: Article 46 of the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China": When a motor vehicle encounters any of the following situations, the maximum speed shall not exceed 30 kilometers per hour, and for tractors, battery-powered vehicles, and wheeled special-purpose motor vehicles, the speed shall not exceed 15 kilometers per hour: 1. When entering or exiting a non-motorized vehicle lane, passing through a railway crossing, sharp curve, narrow road, or narrow bridge; 2. When making a U-turn, turning, or descending a steep slope; 3. In fog, rain, snow, dust storms, or hail, when visibility is within 50 meters; 4. When driving on icy or muddy roads; 5. When towing a motor vehicle that has broken down.
