Crossing double solid lines for a U-turn will definitely be captured by cameras, usually within about 20 meters of crossing the lines. Illegal U-turns across double solid lines are recorded through automatic electronic police surveillance or manual photography by traffic police, with on-the-spot penalties for violators. Prohibited U-turn situations are as follows: U-turns are prohibited where there are "No U-turn" signs or "No Left Turn" signs: If there is a no U-turn sign, then U-turns are not allowed at that intersection. A U-turn is essentially an extension of a left turn, so if there is a no left turn sign at an intersection, U-turns are also prohibited there. U-turns are prohibited at crosswalks: U-turns are not allowed at crosswalks. At intersections where U-turns are permitted, you must cross the crosswalk before making the U-turn; you cannot make the U-turn while 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 from 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 from the innermost left turn lane. U-turns are prohibited at yellow solid lines: U-turns are not allowed at yellow solid lines. Even if there is a U-turn permitted sign, you must wait for the green light and cross the stop line before making the U-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 demerit points. If you miss an exit on the highway, continue to the next exit instead of attempting an illegal U-turn.
