Who Yields Between U-turns and Right Turns?
1 Answers
When making a U-turn during a green light, the U-turning vehicle has the right of way, and right-turning vehicles should yield. However, at intersections without traffic lights, U-turning vehicles must yield to right-turning vehicles, as they must not obstruct the normal flow of other vehicles and pedestrians. Vehicles are prohibited from making U-turns at locations with no U-turn or no left-turn signs or markings, or in hazardous road sections. Below are precautions for U-turns: U-turns are allowed when there are no prohibitory signs: Generally, U-turns can be made in the absence of prohibitory signs, provided they do not interfere with normal traffic and safety is ensured. Typically, the central median on regular roads changes from a solid line to a dashed line near intersections. U-turns are permitted on yellow grid lines: U-turns can be made on yellow grid lines without a central barrier. Yellow grid line areas indicate no-parking zones, usually placed at intersections prone to congestion due to temporary parking or at entrances of important facilities.
