What Does U-Turn Mean?

[DiAubrey]

U-turn refers to making the vehicle turn left or right to the rear and proceed, causing the vehicle to move in the opposite direction of the adjacent lane. Permissible situations for making a U-turn are as follows: Presence of U-turn traffic lights or signs: When there is a U-turn traffic light at an intersection, a U-turn can be made when the U-turn indicator is green. If there is a U-turn sign at the intersection or a U-turn indicator on the lane, a U-turn can be made while ensuring the safety of oneself and others. No U-turn sign but left turns are allowed (no prohibition of U-turn signs or markings): Vehicles can make a U-turn at intersections where left turns are permitted and no U-turn prohibition signs or markings are present. It is important to note that the vehicle must proceed according to the left-turn lane traffic signal without affecting the normal movement of other vehicles. If making a U-turn at an intersection with a left-turn waiting area, the vehicle can enter the left-turn waiting area when the straight signal is green and wait until the left-turn signal turns green before making the U-turn. U-turns are allowed at dashed lines: Whether it is a white or yellow dashed line, U-turns are permitted. In the case of double yellow lines (one solid and one dashed), check if the side you are on is dashed. If it is dashed, a U-turn can be made safely. If it is solid, a U-turn is not allowed. If encountering double yellow lines at an intersection, a U-turn can be made on the dashed side, but the vehicle must not cross the stop line ahead. U-turns are allowed 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-turns can be made 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 from this point. When the front of the green belt is a solid line, vehicles must follow the traffic signal, cross the pedestrian crossing before making a U-turn, and are prohibited from crossing the solid line or the pedestrian crossing to make a U-turn. Precautions for making a U-turn: When making a U-turn, the left turn signal should be activated in advance, the maximum speed should not exceed 30 kilometers per hour, and the maneuver should not obstruct other normally moving vehicles or pedestrians.
