Will I Get Penalized for Making a U-Turn at a Red Light?

[DeAubree]

Making a U-turn at a red light will result in penalties at locations with no U-turn or no left-turn signs/markings, but no penalties will be incurred at locations without such prohibitions. However, the maneuver must not obstruct the normal passage of other vehicles and pedestrians. Additional details are as follows: According to the 'Implementation Regulations of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China': Article 49 Motor vehicles are prohibited from making U-turns at locations with no U-turn or no left-turn signs/markings, as well as at railway crossings, pedestrian crosswalks, bridges, sharp curves, steep slopes, tunnels, or other hazardous road sections. Motor vehicles may make U-turns at locations without such prohibitions, provided they do not hinder the normal passage of other vehicles and pedestrians. According to the 'Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China': Article 26 Traffic signals consist of red, green, and yellow lights. A red light indicates prohibition of passage, a green light permits passage, and a yellow light serves as a warning.
