U-turns are not allowed on single solid lines. Making a U-turn on a solid line is a traffic violation, regardless of whether it's a single or double solid line. According to Article 90 of the Road Traffic Safety Law, violators who disobey prohibited markings will be fined 200 yuan and receive 3 penalty points. Generally, on long roads, white solid lines are present in the middle section or before intersections. If the lines are yellow dashed or white dashed, U-turns are permitted. However, U-turns are strictly prohibited on any solid lines. Cases where U-turns are allowed: Intersections with U-turn signs: If there is a clear U-turn sign at an intersection, U-turns are permitted. If there is a U-turn traffic light, follow its instructions. If there is no traffic light, make a U-turn based on the specific situation, ensuring it does not obstruct other vehicles or pedestrians. Intersections without explicit no U-turn or no left-turn signs: U-turns are allowed if there are no explicit prohibitions. "No explicit prohibition" means the intersection lacks signs like "No U-turn," "No left-turn," or solid center lines. In such cases, U-turns are safely permitted. Yellow grid lines also allow U-turns: Yellow grid lines are no-parking zones marked at intersections prone to congestion due to temporary stops, important facility entrances, or other necessary locations. Parking (including waiting at traffic lights) on these grids is a violation. Although stopping is prohibited in yellow grid zones, U-turns are allowed as long as there are no central barriers. Yellow grid lines without barriers are equivalent to "U-turn permitted." Intersections with U-turn traffic lights: This is straightforward—if there is a U-turn traffic light, proceed only when the light is green. When both no left-turn and U-turn permitted signs appear: 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 the line is solid, U-turns are prohibited under any circumstances. Continue driving to find a suitable U-turn location. If there is a "No left-turn" sign ahead, U-turns are also prohibited at that intersection, even if "No U-turn" is not mentioned, because U-turns inherently involve left turns. U-turns must be made from the innermost left-turn lane. If you are in the second left-turn lane, U-turns are not permitted at that intersection. Always yield to straight-moving vehicles when making a U-turn. Proceed only if it does not interfere with their normal flow; otherwise, you will bear full responsibility for any accidents. Near intersection stop lines, lanes often have guiding arrows. The leftmost lane may not always have a left-turn arrow. If it has a straight arrow, U-turns are prohibited even without explicit "No U-turn" signs. U-turns must not be made on crosswalks, as this is also a traffic violation.

What does passive pedestrian protection in cars mean?

Passive pedestrian protection in cars refers to the use of hood pop-up technology, which causes the engine to instantly bulge during a collision, ensuring that the human body does not hit the hard car shell but instead contacts a soft and smooth surface. This can provide a certain level of protection, alert the driver in time before an accident occurs, and help avoid crashes or minimize injuries. Passive pedestrian protection includes safety systems, hazard warning systems, collision avoidance systems, etc., involving sensor technology, communication technology, information display technology, and driving state monitoring technology. Actions that activate the passive pedestrian protection system include: 1. Severe impact under the vehicle; 2. Driving over speed bumps or large potholes at high speed; 3. Objects hitting the pedestrian collision sensor.

What Are the Reasons for a Car Not Starting and Only Making a Sputtering Sound?

The reasons for a car not starting and only making a sputtering sound are: 1. Fuel issues: Poor-quality gasoline contains many impurities and may even be mixed with water, which can cause serious damage to the car; 2. Excessive carbon deposits or dirt in the intake tract can change the cross-sectional area of the air passage, leading to an overly rich or lean air-fuel mixture, abnormal combustion, and failure to start properly; 3. Abnormal fuel pump pressure can cause the car to sputter; 4. Incorrect readings from the intake pressure sensor. Solutions for a car not starting and only making a sputtering sound: 1. Replace with suitable engine oil; 2. Check the battery condition: In winter, most cases of difficulty starting a car are due to a weak battery or an expired battery lifespan; 3. Replace the spark plugs in a timely manner.

How to Drain Air from Changan Star More Effectively

To drain air from the Changan Star, open the vent port and add coolant to the radiator. Close the vent port once water flows out from it. Below are relevant details about radiator cooling: 1. Precautions when draining water: There is a drain plug at the lower end of the radiator. Loosen it to drain water, but be cautious as high water temperature may cause burns. When refilling water, air needs to be purged. Some vehicles have a tube under the front hood (below the wipers) that can be pulled out to vent air. Once all air is expelled, water will flow out from the tube. 2. Starting water circulation: Start the engine and let the water temperature rise until the radiator fan activates. Then check if water is circulating, which can usually be observed from the radiator filler port. This completes the circulation process.
