Is it allowed to cross the solid line when making a U-turn?
1 Answers
It is not allowed to cross the solid line when making a left-turn U-turn. Generally, on major traffic routes, double yellow solid lines are painted in the middle of the lanes, and vehicles crossing these double yellow lines will be fined and penalized with points. This is because at such road intersections, there is a high volume of traffic, and failing to strictly adhere to traffic rules can easily lead to accidents and cause road congestion. The relevant details are as follows: Conditions under which U-turns are allowed: Presence of U-turn signal or sign: At intersections with U-turn signals, a U-turn is permitted when the U-turn signal is green; if there is a U-turn sign or a lane marking indicating U-turns is present, a U-turn can be made ensuring the safety of oneself and others. No U-turn sign but left turns are allowed (no prohibition of U-turn signs or markings): Vehicles can make a U-turn at intersections where left turns are permitted and there are no signs or markings prohibiting U-turns. It is important to note that the vehicle must proceed according to the left-turn lane signal without affecting the normal flow of other vehicles. If making a U-turn at an intersection with a left-turn waiting area, the vehicle can first enter the waiting area when the straight signal is green and wait until the left-turn signal turns green to make the U-turn. U-turns are allowed at dashed lines: Whether it is a white or yellow dashed line, U-turns are permitted. If it is a double yellow line with one solid and one dashed, check if your side is the dashed line; if so, a U-turn is allowed safely; if it is a solid line, U-turns are not permitted. At intersections with double yellow lines (one solid and one dashed), U-turns can be made on the dashed line side, but the vehicle must not cross the stop line ahead. U-turns are allowed at yellow grid lines: Parking is prohibited in yellow grid line areas, but as long as there is no central barrier, a U-turn can be made here after yielding to normally moving vehicles.
