Is U-Turn Allowed at Traffic Lights?

[DelFelicity]

Whether a U-turn is permitted at traffic lights depends on the signal configuration: If there is a dedicated U-turn signal, U-turns are prohibited during red lights; U-turns are allowed during green lights, but drivers must observe surrounding traffic conditions to avoid violations. Situations where U-turns are permitted include: 1. In the absence of no-U-turn signs, vehicles may make U-turns provided they do not interfere with normal traffic flow and ensure safety; 2. U-turns are allowed on yellow grid lines when there are no central barriers; 3. At dedicated left-turn/U-turn advance guide lanes, drivers must activate left turn signals in advance and execute U-turns without affecting other vehicles; 4. U-turns are only permitted when the U-turn signal is green and within designated lanes.
