Is it allowed to make a U-turn at an intersection?
1 Answers
According to regulations, if there are no signs or markings prohibiting U-turns or left turns at an intersection, motor vehicles are allowed to make a U-turn. However, the driver must first proceed straight past the crosswalk before making the U-turn and must yield to pedestrians. Making a U-turn directly over the crosswalk will result in a fine of 150 yuan. Situations where making a U-turn at an intersection is not illegal include: 1. Presence of a U-turn sign: Intersections with U-turn signs definitely allow U-turns. However, the driver must make the U-turn according to actual conditions without obstructing other vehicles or pedestrians. 2. Presence of a U-turn signal: Many roads have dedicated left-turn or U-turn lanes before intersections. The driver should activate the left turn signal in advance and make the U-turn without affecting other normally moving vehicles.
