What are the penalties for making a U-turn in a dangerous section of road?
1 Answers
If a U-turn is made in a dangerous section of road, according to Article 90 of the Road Traffic Safety Law, motor vehicle drivers who violate road traffic safety laws and regulations regarding road passage will be given a warning or fined a certain amount. Other situations where U-turns are prohibited are as follows: U-turns are prohibited where there are 'No U-turn' or 'No Left Turn' signs: If there is a no U-turn sign, then U-turns are not allowed at that intersection. The action of making a U-turn is an extension of a left turn, so if there is a no left turn sign at an intersection, U-turns are also prohibited there. U-turns are prohibited when there is no left turn lane: Even in the leftmost lane, if there is no sign allowing a left turn, U-turns are not permitted. U-turns are prohibited in the second left turn lane: When a vehicle is in the second left turn lane, it cannot make a U-turn. In the absence of any signs, vehicles can only make U-turns in the innermost left turn lane. U-turns are prohibited on highways: Making a U-turn by crossing the central divider on a highway is illegal and will result in a fine and 12 demerit points. If you miss an exit on the highway, continue to the next exit to leave the highway, and do not attempt an illegal U-turn.
