If there are electronic surveillance cameras, it will be captured, as making a U-turn on a crosswalk is a traffic violation. According to the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China," this offense is punishable by a 3-point deduction and a fine of 200 yuan. The basis for this is Article 49, which states: Motor vehicles are not allowed to make U-turns at locations with signs or markings prohibiting U-turns or left turns, as well as at railway crossings, pedestrian crosswalks, bridges, sharp curves, steep slopes, tunnels, or other dangerous sections of the road. Definition of yielding to pedestrians at crosswalks: Pedestrians walking on the right side of the crosswalk who have not reached the centerline of the road. Vehicles traveling on the left side of the road should slow down and allow pedestrians to pass safely through the crosswalk; Pedestrians waiting outside the boundary line between motorized and non-motorized lanes. If they have not entered the roadway, vehicles should slow down and allow them to pass safely through the crosswalk; If pedestrians cross the boundary line between motorized and non-motorized lanes, vehicles failing to stop and yield constitute a violation and should be penalized; Once pedestrians enter the motorized lane along the crosswalk, vehicles that have slowed down should allow them to pass safely. Vehicles that fail to stop and yield constitute a violation and should be penalized; Pedestrians waiting at the centerline of the road without entering the motorized lane. Vehicles failing to stop and yield constitute a violation and should be penalized; Pedestrians crossing the centerline of the road and entering the motorized lane. Vehicles failing to stop and yield constitute a violation and should be penalized; If the road is divided by a median strip, pedestrians waiting in the median area must be allowed to pass safely by slowing down. Permissible U-turn situations: Intersections with U-turn signs: If there is a clear U-turn sign at an intersection, U-turns are allowed. If there is a U-turn traffic light, follow its instructions. If there is no traffic light, U-turns can be made as long as they do not interfere with other vehicles or pedestrians. Intersections without explicit prohibitions: If there are no signs prohibiting U-turns or left turns, U-turns are allowed. "No explicit prohibition" means the absence of "No U-turn" or "No Left Turn" signs, and the absence of solid centerlines. Yellow grid lines also allow U-turns: Yellow grid lines are no-stopping zones marked at intersections prone to congestion due to temporary stops, important entrances/exits, or other designated areas. Stopping on these lines (including waiting for traffic lights) is a violation. However, U-turns are permitted in yellow grid zones unless there is a central barrier. If "No Left Turn" and "U-turn allowed" signs appear together: U-turns are permitted, but left turns are prohibited. Note that "No U-turn" is not the same as "No Left Turn." Precautions when making U-turns at intersections: Check road markings: If they are solid lines, U-turns are prohibited under any circumstances. Continue driving to find a suitable U-turn location. If there is a "No Left Turn" sign: Even if "No U-turn" is not mentioned, U-turns are not allowed at that intersection because U-turns inherently involve a left turn. U-turns must be made from the innermost left-turn lane: If you are in the second left-turn lane, U-turns are not permitted at that intersection. Always yield to oncoming traffic when making a U-turn. Failure to do so will result in full liability for any accidents. Near intersection stop lines, lanes often have guiding arrows. The leftmost lane may not always have a left-turn arrow. If it has a straight arrow, U-turns are prohibited even without explicit "No U-turn" signs.
