Is it allowed to make a U-turn on a white dashed line?

[DelEli]

U-turns are allowed on white dashed lines, provided there are no signs prohibiting U-turns or left turns, or separate U-turn signal lights. Vehicles can make a U-turn under the condition that it does not interfere with normal traffic flow and safety is ensured. Scenarios where U-turns are permitted: Intersections with U-turn signs: If there is a clear U-turn sign at an intersection, a U-turn is allowed. If there is a U-turn signal light, drivers must follow its instructions. In the absence of a signal light, a U-turn can be made based on the specific situation, ensuring it does not hinder other vehicles or pedestrians. Intersections without explicit prohibition of U-turns or left turns: If there are no signs explicitly prohibiting U-turns, then U-turns are allowed. 'No explicit prohibition' means the absence of signs like 'No U-turn,' 'No Left Turn,' or solid center lines, in which case U-turns can be safely made. U-turns are also allowed on yellow grid lines: Yellow grid lines are no-parking zones typically marked at intersections prone to congestion due to temporary stops, important institution entrances, or other necessary locations. Parking on these lines (including waiting at traffic lights) is a violation. Although stopping is prohibited in yellow grid zones, U-turns are permitted. As long as there are no central barriers, yellow grid lines are equivalent to 'U-turn permitted.' Intersections with U-turn signal lights: This is straightforward—if there is a U-turn signal light, drivers must obey it, making a U-turn only when the light is green. When 'No Left Turn' and 'U-turn Permitted' signs coexist: U-turns are allowed, but left turns are prohibited. Note that 'No U-turn' is not the same as 'No Left Turn.' Points to note when making U-turns at intersections: Observe road markings—if they are solid lines, U-turns are prohibited under any circumstances. Drivers should proceed to find a suitable location for a U-turn. If there is a 'No Left Turn' sign ahead, even without a 'No U-turn' sign, U-turns are not allowed at that intersection because U-turns inherently involve a left turn. U-turns must be made from the innermost left-turn lane. If the vehicle is in the second left-turn lane, a U-turn cannot be made at that intersection. Always yield to oncoming traffic when making a U-turn. Ensure the maneuver does not disrupt the normal flow of straight-moving vehicles; otherwise, the driver will bear full responsibility for any accidents. Near intersection stop lines, lanes usually have guiding arrows to assist drivers.
