What is the penalty for going straight in a U-turn lane?
1 Answers
It constitutes the traffic violation of not driving in the designated lane, punishable by a fine and 3 demerit points. Additionally, if a traffic accident occurs, the driver will bear primary responsibility. Extended information: 1. U-turn at intersections with no-left-turn signs: If a motor vehicle driver needs to make a U-turn at an intersection marked with a no-left-turn sign, they should proceed to an intersection where U-turns are permitted and make the turn without obstructing other vehicles. 2. U-turn in straight lanes: If the leftmost lane at an intersection is a straight lane, U-turns may be allowed. Traffic authorities will mark the lane with a straight arrow and a directional arrow. If there is no directional arrow, there will typically be a no-left-turn or no-U-turn traffic sign.
