Will I Get Penalized If the Light Turns Red Mid-U-Turn?

[LaEvan]

It depends on the situation. Running a red light requires three photos: the first showing the front tires crossing the line, the second showing the middle of the car crossing, and the third showing the rear tires crossing. If all three photos are present, you will be penalized. Whether a U-turn is allowed at a red light is determined by the intersection signage. Below are the rules for U-turns at red lights: 1. No U-turns on crosswalks: Even at intersections where U-turns are generally permitted, you cannot make a U-turn on a crosswalk. If the intersection has a left-turn lane, you can make a U-turn along the lane. If there is no left-turn lane marking, you must first cross the crosswalk before making the U-turn. 2. Yellow grid sections: The yellow grid areas on the road are primarily for no-parking reminders. If you are driving in a yellow grid section and there is no central divider, you can make a U-turn in the yellow grid area. 3. No U-turns on solid yellow lines: If the center line is solid, whether it's a single or double yellow line, U-turns are prohibited. If there is one dashed yellow line and one solid yellow line, and the dashed line is closer to your vehicle, a U-turn is allowed. If the solid line is closer to your vehicle, U-turns are prohibited.
