How to Make a U-Turn Without Violating Traffic Rules?
1 Answers
Here are the key points to make a U-turn without violating traffic rules: 1. According to traffic regulations, U-turns are strictly prohibited where there are no U-turn signs: including no U-turn signs, no left-turn signs and markings, and red traffic lights. 2. U-turns are not allowed on pedestrian crossings: According to the Road Traffic Safety Law, motor vehicles are not allowed to make U-turns on zebra crossings. If a U-turn is permitted at an intersection, it should be done after crossing the pedestrian crossing. 3. U-turns are not allowed in the leftmost lane if it is a straight-only lane: Generally, near intersections, arrows in each lane guide motorists to choose lanes according to their direction of travel. If the leftmost lane has only a straight arrow, U-turns are not allowed even if there is no no U-turn sign. 4. U-turns are prohibited in sections where they may cause danger: including bridges, slopes, sharp curves, tunnels, etc. 5. U-turns are allowed on roads with yellow solid and dashed lines or double dashed lines depending on the situation: Vehicles on the dashed side can make a U-turn if it does not affect the normal traffic flow in the opposite lane. 6. U-turns are allowed in yellow grid areas at intersections: Yellow grid areas indicate no parking. If the traffic light is red ahead, vehicles behind should avoid this area. However, U-turns are allowed in this area as long as there is no central barrier, and motor vehicles can make U-turns here. 7. U-turns are allowed where there are U-turn signs: but pay attention to whether the lane is a U-turn lane.
