Will points be deducted for crossing the line in the left-turn waiting area?
1 Answers
Crossing the line in the left-turn waiting area does not result in point deductions because the lines in the waiting area are dashed. Making a U-turn in the waiting area: Even in areas with a waiting zone, you must wait for the red light to make a U-turn. For U-turns, as long as it is not under a red U-turn signal and does not obstruct traffic from other directions, it is permissible to make a U-turn. Purpose of the waiting area signs: These signs are designed to alleviate intersection pressure and improve vehicle traffic capacity. Left-turn waiting area: When the traffic light at the intersection turns green, vehicles intending to make a left turn should enter the left-turn waiting area and wait, while also observing the left-turn traffic signal ahead. Once the left-turn signal turns green, proceed through the intersection as quickly as possible. Small left turns and large left turns are merely designated lanes based on existing intersection conditions, but the appropriate lane should be chosen according to the size and height of the vehicle.
