How should non-motor vehicles make a left turn at an intersection?
1 Answers
Non-motor vehicles need to make a two-stage crossing to turn left at an intersection and cannot follow the left-turn lane like motor vehicles. If non-motor vehicle drivers attempt to turn left using the motor vehicle left-turn lane, they will be in close proximity to high-speed turning motor vehicles, increasing the risk of collisions. Below are some precautions for U-turns: 1. U-turns are allowed when there are no prohibition signs: Generally, U-turns are permitted in the absence of no-U-turn signs, provided they do not interfere with normal traffic flow and are done safely. Typically, the central road divider will change from a solid line to a dashed line near the intersection. 2. U-turns are permitted on yellow grid lines: U-turns can be made on yellow grid lines where there is no central barrier. Yellow grid line areas indicate no-parking zones and are usually placed at intersections prone to congestion due to temporary parking or at entrances to important facilities.
