How to Make a U-Turn Without Violating Traffic Rules?
1 Answers
In places where U-turns are allowed, following traffic signals and road markings will not result in a violation. Making a U-turn in areas where it is prohibited, if caught by surveillance, constitutes a violation. Below are more scenarios where U-turns are permitted: 1. Yellow solid and dashed lines or double dashed lines on the road: Vehicles on the dashed side can make a U-turn without affecting the normal traffic flow in the opposite lane. 2. Yellow grid areas at intersections allow U-turns: Yellow grid areas indicate no stopping, and vehicles behind should avoid this area when the light ahead is red. 3. U-turn is allowed where there is a U-turn sign: However, ensure that the lane you are in is designated for U-turns. 4. U-turns are permitted at intersections without explicit 'No U-Turn' or 'No Left Turn' signs: If there are no such signs and the center of the road is not a solid line, among other prohibited conditions, U-turns are allowed. 5. Multiple left-turn lanes: U-turns are only permitted in the leftmost lane. In urban areas, many intersections have two or more left-turn lanes. In the absence of any signs or U-turn markings, U-turns must be made in the innermost left-turn lane.
