What to Do When You Find the Road Blocked While Turning Left?

[VanBethany]

You can borrow the lane, which is not considered a violation. If you are penalized for a violation, you can appeal to have it revoked, file an appeal, or submit an administrative reconsideration application to the higher-level traffic bureau.

I've been driving for decades and encountered many left-turn closures. The top priority is to stay calm and avoid slamming the brakes, while carefully observing the surroundings: check for detour signs or traffic police directing traffic. If there's no clear guidance, I safely pull over without blocking traffic, then use navigation apps like Google Maps or Gaode Maps to find alternative routes—just enter the destination and it will automatically plan a new path. Remember, forcing a turn can lead to accidents, and causing one brings even bigger trouble. I usually recommend checking traffic alerts before heading out, like using traffic apps to learn about construction zones, so you can avoid them in advance. Safety first—panic leads to mistakes, so patience is key. If truly unsure, call the road management department for assistance.
