How to Make a U-Turn at Traffic Lights Without Violating Traffic Rules?
2 Answers
Car owners should first understand how to make a U-turn properly to avoid violations. The following introduces relevant regulations regarding illegal U-turns: 1. Situations where U-turns are prohibited: Motor vehicles are not allowed to make U-turns at locations with no U-turn or no left-turn signs/markings, railway crossings, pedestrian crosswalks, bridges, sharp curves, steep slopes, tunnels, or other hazardous road sections. 2. Permitted U-turn situations: U-turns are allowed at locations without no U-turn or no left-turn signs/markings, but must not obstruct the normal passage of other vehicles and pedestrians.
That day I was driving through an intersection wanting to make a U-turn, so I specifically checked the traffic rules. The most important thing is to watch the traffic lights and signs! If there's a dedicated U-turn light, obediently wait for the green light; if there's no dedicated light, you can only make a U-turn when the left turn signal is green. Also, observe the road markings: double solid yellow lines absolutely prohibit U-turns, only dashed lines allow it. If there's a crosswalk within 50 meters of the intersection, you must go past the zebra crossing before turning, otherwise getting caught means 3 penalty points and a 200 yuan fine. Last time at a development zone intersection, I saw a driver making a U-turn over double solid yellow lines and got caught by a drone.
