If there are electronic surveillance cameras, you will be caught, as making a U-turn at a crosswalk is a traffic violation. 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 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 crossings, bridges, sharp curves, steep slopes, tunnels, or other dangerous road sections. Definition of yielding to pedestrians at crosswalks: Pedestrians walking on the right side of the crosswalk without reaching the centerline of the road. Vehicles on the left side of the road should slow down and allow pedestrians to cross safely; Pedestrians waiting outside the boundary line of the motorized and non-motorized lanes. If they have not entered the roadway, vehicles should slow down and allow safe passage; If pedestrians cross the dividing line between motorized and non-motorized lanes, vehicles failing to stop are committing a violation and should be penalized; After pedestrians enter the motorized lane via the crosswalk, vehicles should slow down and allow safe passage. Vehicles failing to stop are committing a violation and should be penalized; Pedestrians waiting at the centerline without entering the motorized lane. Vehicles failing to stop are committing a violation and should be penalized; Pedestrians crossing the centerline into the motorized lane. Vehicles failing to stop are committing a violation and should be penalized; If the road center is separated by a green belt, vehicles must slow down and allow safe passage when pedestrians are waiting in the median area. Permissible U-turn scenarios: U-turn allowed at intersections with U-turn signs: If there is a clear U-turn sign, U-turns are permitted. If there is a U-turn traffic light, follow its instructions. Without a traffic light, U-turns can be made safely without obstructing other vehicles or pedestrians. U-turn allowed at intersections without explicit prohibitions: If there are no "No U-turn" or "No Left Turn" signs or solid centerlines, U-turns are permitted. U-turn allowed on yellow grid lines: Yellow grid lines indicate no-stopping zones at intersections prone to congestion. While stopping is prohibited, U-turns are allowed unless there is a central barrier. U-turn allowed with a U-turn traffic light: Follow the signal—green means U-turn is permitted. U-turn allowed when "No Left Turn" and "U-turn Permitted" signs coexist: U-turns are allowed even if left turns are prohibited, but "No U-turn" does not mean "No Left Turn." Precautions when making U-turns: Observe road markings—solid lines mean no U-turns under any circumstances. Proceed to find a suitable location. If there is a "No Left Turn" sign, U-turns are also prohibited, as they require a left turn maneuver. U-turns must be made from the innermost left-turn lane. U-turns from the second left-turn lane are not allowed. Yield to oncoming traffic before making a U-turn to avoid accidents and liability. Lane arrows guide vehicle movements—if the leftmost lane has a straight arrow, U-turns are prohibited even without explicit signs.
