What is the penalty for making a left turn from a U-turn lane?
1 Answers
There are mainly the following situations for making a left turn from a U-turn lane: 1. No penalty: If there is no sign prohibiting left turns in the U-turn lane and there is no dedicated left-turn lane nearby, you can make a U-turn without being penalized. 2. Penalty: If there is both a U-turn lane and a dedicated left-turn lane, making a left turn from the U-turn lane will result in a penalty. The penalty is a deduction of three points. Below are some additional details: 1. Difference between solid and dashed lines: Pay attention to the lane markings on the left side of the U-turn lane—whether they are solid or dashed. If they are solid, you must cross the stop line to make a left turn or U-turn. If they are dashed, you can complete the U-turn before the stop line, but you cannot make a left turn. 2. No prohibition sign means it's allowed: At intersections with yellow grid lines, you can also complete left turns and U-turns as long as there is no prohibition sign. The yellow grid lines indicate a no-parking zone, where you cannot park but can normally enter and exit.
