Which Turn Signal to Use When Making a Right U-turn?
1 Answers
When making a right U-turn, you should not use the left turn signal but the right turn signal. The turn signal should indicate the direction of the U-turn. It's important to note that the signal should be activated in advance. Slowing down and signaling only when reaching the intersection can cause sudden interference for vehicles behind. If the following driver is not paying full attention, it may lead to a traffic accident. Precautions for U-turns: When making a U-turn, you should activate the left turn signal in advance, and the maximum speed should not exceed 30 kilometers per hour. Do not obstruct other vehicles or pedestrians traveling normally. Circumstances where U-turns are prohibited: U-turns are prohibited where there are "No U-turn" or "No Left Turn" signs: If there is a sign prohibiting U-turns, then U-turns are not allowed at that intersection. Since a U-turn is an extension of a left turn, intersections with "No Left Turn" signs also prohibit U-turns. U-turns are prohibited at crosswalks: U-turns are not allowed at crosswalks. If the intersection permits U-turns, you must cross the crosswalk before turning around, and you cannot make the U-turn on the crosswalk. U-turns are prohibited when there is no left-turn lane: Even in the leftmost lane, if there is no sign permitting left turns, U-turns are not allowed. U-turns are prohibited in the second left-turn lane: When a vehicle is in the second left-turn lane, it cannot make a U-turn. In the absence of any signs, U-turns are only permitted in the innermost left-turn lane. U-turns are prohibited at solid yellow lines: U-turns are not allowed at solid yellow lines. Even if there is a sign permitting U-turns, you must wait for the green light and cross the stop line before making the turn. U-turns are prohibited on highways: Making a U-turn by crossing the central divider on a highway is illegal and will result in a fine and 12 penalty points. If you miss an exit on the highway, continue to the next exit and leave the highway. Never attempt an illegal U-turn.
