Is it permissible to not enter the left-turn waiting area?
1 Answers
It is permissible to not enter the left-turn waiting area. Specific explanations are as follows: At locations with left-turn waiting areas, if the straight-ahead green light is on, left-turning vehicles that do not enter the left-turn waiting area are not considered to be violating traffic rules. Introduction to the left-turn waiting area: The left-turn waiting area is an extension of the left-turn lane towards the intersection, marked with white dashed lines. Only when the straight-ahead green light is on can left-turning vehicles enter this area to wait, and they can only turn left when the left-turn green light is on, thereby improving intersection efficiency. Precautions for making a U-turn in the waiting area are as follows: 1. Make a U-turn during the green light: At locations where U-turns are permitted and there is a dedicated U-turn signal light, U-turns should be made during the green light. 2. Follow the instructions of the signs: If there is no dedicated U-turn signal light but there are corresponding signs indicating U-turns during the red or green light, U-turns should be made according to the instructions of the signs. 3. Do not obstruct the normal passage of vehicles and pedestrians when making a U-turn: If there is neither a dedicated U-turn signal light nor other signs indicating U-turns, U-turns can be made without being restricted by the signal light, but the U-turn must not obstruct the normal passage of vehicles and pedestrians.
