What to Do If Only U-Turn and Left Turn Are Allowed?

This situation constitutes a traffic violation, categorized as "failing to enter the guiding lane in the required direction of travel." Traffic police may impose a fine of 200 yuan and deduct 2 points. If an intersection only has a U-turn lane but no left-turn lane, it may indicate that the road you intend to turn left onto is a one-way street or prohibited from entry, making a left turn a violation. Situations where vehicles cannot make a U-turn: 1. Presence of a No U-Turn sign: U-turns are strictly prohibited at intersections with this sign, and violators will be fined and penalized if caught. 2. Presence of a No Left Turn sign: Since U-turns generally require the use of the left-turn lane, a "No Left Turn" sign typically implies no U-turns are allowed. However, if the intersection also has a clear "U-Turn Permitted" sign alongside the No Left Turn sign, then U-turns are allowed. 3. The leftmost lane has a straight arrow: Some intersections may not have signs prohibiting U-turns, but if the lane is marked with a straight arrow, it means the lane is for straight-through traffic only, and U-turns are not permitted. 4. Solid yellow center line on the road: According to traffic regulations, U-turns are allowed at locations without No U-Turn or No Left Turn signs or markings. However, you must check whether the center line on the ground in the U-turn lane is dashed. If it's solid, U-turns are not allowed; if it's dashed, U-turns are permitted.
