Under What Circumstances Is a U-Turn Prohibited?
2 Answers
The following situations prohibit making a U-turn: 1. When there is a no left turn or no U-turn sign; 2. Crossing a solid line to make a U-turn is prohibited; 3. When the central guardrail or green island is close to the stop line, a U-turn is not allowed during a red light; 4. U-turns are prohibited on pedestrian crossings. When making a U-turn, the clutch must be engaged. Below is an introduction related to the clutch: 1. Classification: Clutches are divided into four types—electromagnetic clutches, magnetic particle clutches, friction clutches, and hydraulic clutches. 2. Principle: The clutch consists of friction plates, spring plates, a pressure plate, and a power output shaft. It is located between the engine and the transmission, transferring the torque stored on the engine's flywheel to the transmission to ensure the vehicle delivers appropriate driving force and torque to the drive wheels under different driving conditions, falling under the powertrain category. During semi-engagement, the clutch allows for a speed difference between the power input and output ends, meaning it transmits an appropriate amount of power through this speed difference.
Last time I almost got caught making a U-turn at a crosswalk while dropping off my daughter at school, and my traffic police friend said the penalty would have been unfair! U-turns really can't be done recklessly. For example, never take the risk at intersections with no U-turn signs, crosswalk areas, or railway crossings; the on-ramps of overpasses have fast-moving traffic and are especially prone to collisions; and you must not cross double solid yellow lines—my neighbor got a ticket for that. The most important thing is to pay attention to road markings and traffic lights. Even when the light is green, wait for through traffic to pass before moving. If you're unsure on the road, just drive a few hundred meters further to find a dashed line or a U-turn sign. Safety first!
