Is U-turn Allowed at Intersections?
1 Answers
Whether a U-turn is permitted at an intersection depends on the presence of U-turn signs. Below are specific situations where U-turns are prohibited at intersections: No U-turns on pedestrian crossings: Even if the traffic light is green, stopping your vehicle on a pedestrian crossing is not allowed. Typically, there are designated U-turn spaces before reaching the pedestrian crossing. However, if the current lane is a left-turn lane rather than a U-turn lane, making a U-turn is also prohibited. Clear signage prohibiting U-turns: If there are clear signs near the intersection prohibiting left turns or U-turns, then U-turns are not allowed. These sections often have traffic cameras monitoring violations.
