What kind of intersections allow U-turns without being controlled by red lights?
1 Answers
Intersections where U-turns are not controlled by red lights include: Straight-through intersections: Straight-through intersections only use one set of traffic lights. When the red light is on, straight-through traffic stops, and when the green light is on, straight-through traffic proceeds. For intersections that allow U-turns, U-turns can be made under both red and green lights. However, some places may specifically mark "U-turn on red" for safety reasons, in which case U-turns can only be made when the red light is on. It is important to note that if you see a "No U-turn" sign before the intersection, it means U-turns are prohibited at that intersection, and you must be careful not to violate traffic regulations. Cross intersections: Cross intersections are equipped with at least two sets of traffic lights, usually arrow-type. U-turning vehicles do not depend on the traffic light status (but at many intersections, straight-through vehicles need to cross the stop line, so they must follow the left-turn signal). When making a left turn, ensure safety; straight-through vehicles proceed according to the traffic lights (stop at red, go at green); right-turning vehicles do not depend on the traffic lights but must yield to straight-through vehicles.
