What to Do When Only U-Turn or Left Turn Is Allowed?

This situation constitutes a traffic violation, categorized as 'failing to enter the guiding lane in the required direction of travel.' Traffic police can impose a fine and deduct 2 points from the driver's license. If an intersection only has a U-turn lane and no left-turn lane, it may be because the road intended for left turns 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 violations captured by cameras will result in point deductions and fines. 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 also implies that U-turns are not allowed. However, if an intersection has both a 'No Left Turn' sign and a clear 'U-Turn Allowed' sign, then U-turns are permitted. 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 allowed at such intersections.
