Is a U-turn only allowed with a left turn signal?
1 Answers
It is not only the left turn signal that allows for a U-turn. The following situations permit a U-turn: Presence of a U-turn signal or sign: When there is a U-turn signal at an intersection, a U-turn can be made when the U-turn indicator is green. If there is a U-turn sign at the intersection or a U-turn indicator on the lane, a U-turn can be made while ensuring the safety of oneself and others. No U-turn sign but left turns are allowed (no prohibition of U-turn signs): Vehicles can make a U-turn at intersections where left turns are permitted and there are no U-turn prohibition signs or markings. It is important to note that vehicles must proceed according to the left turn lane signal without affecting the normal movement of other vehicles. If making a U-turn at an intersection with a left turn waiting area, the vehicle can first enter the left turn waiting area when the straight signal is green and wait until the left turn signal turns green to make the U-turn. U-turn allowed at dashed lines: Whether it is a white or yellow dashed line, a U-turn is permitted. If it is a double yellow line with one solid and one dashed, check if your side is the dashed line. If it is, a U-turn can be made safely; if it is solid, a U-turn is not allowed. If encountering a double yellow line at an intersection, a U-turn can be made on the dashed side but must not cross the stop line ahead. U-turn allowed at yellow grid lines: Parking is prohibited in yellow grid areas, but as long as there is no central barrier, a U-turn can be made after yielding to normally moving vehicles. U-turn allowed on the dashed side of a green belt: When the front of the green belt is a dashed line, vehicles on that side can make a U-turn from there. When the front of the green belt is a solid line, vehicles must follow the traffic signal, cross the pedestrian crossing before making a U-turn, and are prohibited from making a U-turn over the solid line or pedestrian crossing.
