Urban road traffic is relatively complex, many traffic lights, a little careless, often because of missing or crossing through the prime factors need around the circle or U-turn. U-turn on this matter in the end how much you know? Under what circumstances can or can not?

"Road Traffic Safety Law Implementing Regulations," the legal definition of "U-turn" is more vague, about the turn of the provisions of only 100 words:

In the motor vehicle has no U-turns or left turn prohibition signs, markings and place the railroad crossing, pedestrian crossings, bridges, sharp bends, steep slopes, tunnels or going through a dangerous road, not U-turn. In the motor vehicle has no U-turns or no left turn sign, place, marking prohibited U-turn; in other vehicles is prohibited or not prohibited U-turn sign to turn left, marking the location, it can turn around, but not interfere with normal driving by.

Vehicles to turn basic needs to note the following:

1, the lamp has a turn intersection

Whatever the intersection, if a turn lamp or a dedicated reticle surface, all in accordance with indication lights and ground markings, generally on the far left, of course, there will be somewhat exotic identification provided on the right.

2, there is no U-turn lamp lights turn left

In general, as long as the case does not prohibit U-turn to identify or separate U-turn indicator, the vehicle can be without affecting the normal running of the vehicle and ensure the safety of the U-turn at any time. The general road median strip also when approaching the intersection by the solid line becomes a broken line, the vehicle can be turned around in this area.

3, no "prohibited" sign as if to allow U-turn

Line to the intersection, as long as there is no "no left turn", "No U-turn" sign, the driver can turn around, do not have to focus on the traffic light changes to turn around.

But if the intersection has been significant nameplate, written agreement "when the green light turn left", the words "red light", etc., when the traffic lights turn is bound by, subject to the prompt.

4, a single turn yellow solid line prohibiting

And crossing the same road as no "No U-turn" signs, to allow U-turn.

However, the road U-turn should pay attention to the actual situation of the center line of the road: as long as the solid line, whether it is a single yellow line or double yellow lines, are "No U-turn."

Some painted road "yellow broken line", i.e. a double yellow line is a solid line, a dotted line. When turn, should be observed in close proximity with their actual situation reticle side: adjacent to a solid line, a U-turn prohibited; immediately broken line, allowing a U-turn.

The yellow grid area

Yellow no parking area represents the grid lines, if the red front, rear of the vehicle should the block area is retracted. However, the U-turn region is permitted, as long as there is no central isolation barrier, the vehicle can turn in this area.

6. "turn left" with "No U-turn" effect

If the intersection "no left turn" sign, even if not hanging, "No U-turn" sign, the intersection is also prohibited U-turn. "No left turn" sign, but also has "no left turn", "No U-turn" types of effectiveness.

The first intersection the left lane if the lane is straight, marking on the road as long as not to draw "straight arrow with guide", the driver may not turn around, otherwise it will be punished.

7, zebra crossing area

Some roads in Shi painted zebra crossing, although the region in general does not prohibit U-turn logo, but this area is equivalent to the sidewalk, is absolutely not allowed to turn around.

8, only the far left lane straight arrow

Generally near the intersection, the guide will be applied to the motor vehicle painted lane selection arrow direction of travel in each lane, the left lane, if only the first straight arrow, at this time even if no U-turn prohibition flag is not possible to turn around.
