Making a U-turn Before or After the Crosswalk?

[Abigail]

Making a U-turn after the crosswalk. Here are the relevant details: U-turns are not allowed on crosswalks: Some drivers, for convenience, perform U-turns right on the crosswalk after crossing the stop line, which is clearly improper behavior. According to the Traffic Safety Implementation Regulations, motor vehicles are prohibited from making U-turns in hazardous areas such as crosswalks, bridges, and tunnels. The purpose of crosswalks is to allow pedestrians to cross safely, and performing a U-turn on them poses significant safety risks to pedestrians, hence this behavior is strictly prohibited. U-turns on crosswalks are likely to be captured: The chances of being caught making a U-turn on a crosswalk are very high, almost 100%, except in areas where traffic facilities are not yet fully equipped. Intersections are the most accident-prone areas, requiring high-density surveillance equipment to capture violations. Obvious violations like making a U-turn on a crosswalk are easily recorded.
