Is a U-turn allowed when the left-turn arrow is red?
1 Answers
A U-turn is not allowed when the left-turn arrow is red. More information about U-turns for motor vehicles is as follows: 1. At an intersection without a 'No U-turn (No Left Turn)' sign or marking, a U-turn is legally permitted regardless of whether the traffic light is red or green. However, if there is a clear sign indicating 'When the left-turn light is green' or 'When the red light is on,' the U-turn must be made according to the specified signal timing. 2. Motor vehicles can make a U-turn at locations without 'No U-turn' or 'No Left Turn' signs or markings. At locations where U-turns are allowed and there is no dedicated U-turn signal or other traffic signs regulating U-turns, vehicles can make a U-turn during any traffic light phase. 3. If a traffic sign explicitly indicates that U-turns are allowed during a red or green light, the U-turn should be made during the specified signal phase. 4. When making a U-turn, do not obstruct other vehicles or pedestrians who are proceeding normally. Therefore, at intersections without 'No U-turn (No Left Turn)' signs or markings, motor vehicles can make a U-turn directly if it is safe to do so.
