Answer questions

Do you need to wait for a red light to turn around at an intersection?

1. Whether you should look at the signal light or not

Whether you should turn around or not look at the signal light, mainly depends on whether you need to cross the stop line. If you don't need to cross the stop line, you don't need to look at the signal light; But if you need to cross the stop line, you have to look at the signal light.

The lane line is a dotted line when approaching the intersection, so it can turn around before reaching the stop line, so it is not affected by the signal light, and the U-turn channel is often set in front of the stop line, so it does not need to be affected by the signal light when making a U-turn, just pay attention to the oncoming vehicle. To sum up, when the signal light is red, the centerline in the road is dotted when approaching the intersection or the central isolation facility has a U-turn channel, and you can turn around at the red light.

However, if the centerline is a solid line or there is no U-turn in the road, it means that it is subject to the signal light, and must pass according to the signal light instructions, and when the signal light is green, the vehicle can cross the stop line and the pedestrian crossing line to make a U-turn, otherwise it will be regarded as running a red light.

2. Whether the gridlines can turn around

The yellow grid on the road means that parking is prohibited in the area, but it is passable and U-turned.

3. Can you turn around in the middle of the road section

Make a U-turn in the middle of the road section, mainly to see if the center line is a dashed line. If it is a solid line, you can't make a U-turn, if it's a dashed line, you can make a U-turn. If it is a double yellow line, one virtual and one real, and close to your own is a dotted line, you can turn around; If you are close to a solid line, you must not turn around.

4. "U-turn" or "U-turn"

Every time we post an article about the vehicle U-turn, there are always friends who dispute the word "U-turn", and we will give you another "popular science".

According to the explanation of the 7th edition of the Modern Chinese Dictionary: "U-turn" can refer to (people) turning back or (cars, boats, etc.) turning in the opposite direction, such as the alley is too narrow for the car to turn around. The 7th edition of the Modern Chinese Dictionary also clarifies that "U-turn" refers to a "U-turn" when (car, boat, etc.) turns in the opposite direction.

At the same time, since the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China uses "U-turn", it is best for road traffic signs to be consistent with the law and use "U-turn" uniformly. Except that it is best to use "U-turn" uniformly in road traffic signs, there is no need for mandatory norms in other areas.
