Is U-turn allowed where left turns are permitted?
1 Answers
If there is a clear no U-turn sign in the left-turn lane, U-turns are not allowed; at locations without no U-turn or no left-turn signs or markings, a U-turn is permitted when the light is green and safety is confirmed, and it will not be captured by traffic cameras. Precautions for making a U-turn are as follows: Vehicles must proceed according to the left-turn lane signal without affecting the normal movement of other vehicles. If making a U-turn at an intersection with a left-turn waiting area, you can first enter the left-turn waiting area when the straight signal is green and wait until the left-turn signal turns green to make the U-turn. Other situations where U-turns are allowed are as follows: Presence of U-turn signal or sign: When there is a U-turn signal at the intersection, a U-turn is allowed when the U-turn indicator is green; when there is a U-turn sign at the intersection or a U-turn marking on the lane, a U-turn is allowed while ensuring the safety of oneself and others. U-turn at dashed lines: U-turns are allowed at both white and yellow dashed lines. For double yellow lines where one side is dashed and the other is solid, check if your side is dashed—if so, a U-turn is allowed when safe; if solid, U-turns are not allowed. If encountering double yellow lines at an intersection, a U-turn can be made on the dashed side, but you must not cross the stop line ahead. U-turn at yellow grid lines: Parking is prohibited in yellow grid line areas, but as long as there is no central barrier, a U-turn can be made here after yielding to normally moving vehicles. U-turn on the dashed side of a green belt: When the front of the green belt is a dashed line, vehicles on that side can make a U-turn there. When the front of the green belt is a solid line, vehicles must follow the traffic signal, cross the zebra crossing before making a U-turn, and must not cross the solid line or the zebra crossing to make a U-turn.
