Will I Be Caught on Camera for Making a Left Turn in a U-Turn Lane?
1 Answers
Not necessarily, it depends on whether there are surveillance cameras nearby. However, if the U-turn and left-turn guide lanes are separate and independent, and there are surveillance cameras in the vicinity, the driver making a left turn in a U-turn-only guide lane would be committing a traffic violation for not driving in the designated lane, resulting in a 2-point deduction. Additional Information: 1. Regulations: According to Article 49 of the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China", motor vehicles may make a U-turn at locations where there are no prohibitions against U-turns or left turns, provided that they do not hinder the normal passage of other vehicles and pedestrians. In other words, a U-turn is permitted under the following three conditions: no prohibitory signs or markings against U-turns; no prohibitory signs or markings against left turns; and not hindering the passage of other vehicles and pedestrians. 2. Situations Where U-Turns Are Allowed: U-turns are permitted at intersections with U-turn signals, intersections without U-turn signals but with left-turn signals, yellow grid areas, and locations without "prohibited" signs, which are considered as allowing U-turns.
