Which Lane to Use for a U-Turn?
1 Answers
For a U-turn, you should use the leftmost lane. Turning is divided into two situations: left turns should use the leftmost lane, and right turns should use the rightmost lane. Circumstances where U-turns are permitted are as follows: When there is a U-turn signal or sign: If there is a U-turn signal at an intersection, you can make a U-turn when the U-turn indicator is green. If there is a U-turn sign at the intersection or a U-turn indicator on the lane, you can make a U-turn while ensuring your own and others' safety. No U-turn sign but left turns are allowed (no prohibition of U-turn signs are set): Vehicles can make a U-turn at intersections where left turns are permitted and no prohibition of U-turn signs or markings are present. It is important to note that vehicles should proceed according to the left-turn lane signal without affecting the normal driving of other vehicles. If you need to make a U-turn at an intersection with a left-turn waiting area, you can first enter the left-turn waiting area when the straight signal is green and wait until the left-turn signal turns green to make the U-turn. U-turns are allowed at dashed lines: U-turns are permitted at both white and yellow dashed lines. If it is a double yellow line with one solid and one dashed, check whether your side is the dashed line. If it is, you can make a U-turn while ensuring safety; if it is a solid line, U-turns are not allowed. If you encounter a double yellow line with one solid and one dashed at an intersection, you can make a U-turn on the dashed side, but you must not cross the stop line ahead. U-turns are allowed at yellow grid lines: Parking is prohibited in yellow grid line areas, but as long as there is no central barrier, you can make a U-turn here after yielding to normally moving vehicles. U-turns are allowed on the dashed side of a green belt: When the front of the green belt is a dashed line, vehicles on that side can make a U-turn from there. When the front of the green belt is a solid line, vehicles must follow the traffic signal and cross the zebra crossing before making a U-turn. Driving over solid lines or zebra crossings to make a U-turn is prohibited.
