For many car owners, turning around is to look at the car ahead. When they are the leader, they don’t know what to do? Can the red light turn around? Many car owners are troubled by the question of whether there is no U-turn indication in the left-turn lane. How should a turn around at the intersection of not break the law? Learn these rules to become an "old driver" in seconds, and no longer have to worry about being deducted points.
According to the "China Road Traffic Safety Law", a motor vehicle can turn around where there is no prohibition on turning or left turning signs or markings, but it shall not hinder the passage of other vehicles and pedestrians.
Many people can’t grasp the point of this sentence, so let’s take the actual situation as an example:
has a sign that allows a U-turn or a left turn, marking
. The three signs and markings in the above picture are all allowed to turn around. In fact, A U-turn is just an extension of a left turn. Just one thing to pay attention to is that you must follow the signal lights when you turn around. The above three signs and markings are not allowed to turn around under red lights!
The yellow line on the ground is a dotted line or has a gap
believes that all car owners know that the solid line is not allowed to change lanes, and the yellow line on the ground is a marking line that distinguishes two different directions. If you are at an intersection, the yellow line is a single dashed or double dashed line, and the dashed line on the side close to the vehicle is allowed to turn around! In the case of these three markings, you can turn around without looking at the signal lights, as long as it does not affect the normal driving of other vehicles. In addition to
, special U-turn gaps will be reserved in certain sections. It should also be noted that sometimes special signal lights are set up at such gaps. If not, you can turn around without looking at the signal lights, but if there are lights, you need to watch the traffic lights to drive. Another point, if the vehicle has passed the reserved gap, it is not allowed to turn around in the left-turn lane!
has set up signs that prohibit turning left or turn around, markings
If these signs and markings appear at the intersection, it is forbidden to turn around. Secondly, it should also be noted that on certain road sections, left turns and U-turns are prohibited in different time periods. U-turns are not illegal only when the U-turn is prohibited!
U-turns are prohibited in straight lanes
At many intersections, no matter how many lanes there are, you will find that there are only straight lanes, and in this case, it is not allowed to turn left or even U-turn! In addition, in some road sections, because the arrow has been crushed for a long time and it is not clear, just look at the yellow solid line below.
Finally, everyone needs to pay attention to the precautions for turning around. You cannot make a U-turn on the zebra crossing. Secondly, turn on the turn signal first when turning around, and not hinder others from driving normally. In the event of a traffic accident, as long as there is no special situation, it will be the main responsibility of the U-turner!
