Do you need to see the traffic lights when you turn around? If there is a red light ahead, can you turn around?

Look, turn left at the traffic lights ahead, and then turn red. Normally, you can't turn around.

Whether the vehicle turns around to see the traffic lights depends on the actual situation or the relevant signs, markings or "traffic lights" on the road section. Some people can turn around without looking at the traffic lights, while others ask to see the traffic lights.

First of all, the first thing to do is to turn around and meet the conditions:

1. There are no signs and marks on the ground and in the air that prohibit turning left and turning around.

2. There is a dotted line (about 10 meter, depending on the size of the intersection) or wireless on the left center line.

3. If there is a railing in the middle of the road, the railing should be moved from the vehicle stop line to the junction of the virtual and real lines.

There is a sign allowing U-turn at the junction of the dotted line and the solid line in the center of the road.

Second, you can turn around without looking at the signal light:

1. Vehicles are not allowed to cross the stop line of the left turn lane at the intersection.

2. Do not occupy traffic markings such as physical road separation lines, crosswalk lines, guide lines and safety islands.

3, do not hinder the normal passage of other vehicles and pedestrians.

4. Tip: You can turn around at the intersection without looking at the traffic lights, which is convenient for the U-turn vehicle to leave quickly. However, U-turn vehicles do not enjoy the priority right of way, and shall not interfere with the normal passage of other vehicles and pedestrians. In the event of an accident, they will bear the responsibility.

Third, you need to look at the traffic lights:

1. There is a U-turn signal light: if there is, turn the signal light green.

2. No U-turn signal lamp: when the left turn signal lamp is green.

3. There is no left turn signal light: only the intersection with round head signal light must wait for the green signal light to light up.

4. Tip: When making a U-turn, you must pass through the intersection stop line and the crosswalk line in turn, and you cannot make a U-turn on the crosswalk line.

Extended data:

According to the provisions on motor vehicle traffic in the second section of the Road Traffic Safety Law:

1. When there is no central isolation facility in the middle of the road, vehicles on both sides can turn around at the yellow dotted line. When a yellow dotted line is drawn, vehicles on one side of the dotted line can turn around, while vehicles on the other side of the solid line cannot turn around. When there is a central isolation facility in the middle of the road, when there is a U-turn sign and marking at the gap of the central isolation facility, the vehicle can turn around.

Turn around at the intersection and don't cross the stop line. Generally speaking, there is a gap at the intersection, and there are signs and markings for turning around. At this time, the vehicle can turn around and is not controlled by the signal light. It should be noted that it refers to turning around directly from the yellow arrow. If you accidentally walk to the front stop line, you must refer to the green light of the traffic lights before turning around.

3. When there is a left-turn lane, a left-turn plus a U-turn lane or a left-turn plus a straight lane at the intersection, the U-turn of the motor vehicle is controlled by the signal light! When the signal light is an arrow light, when the left turn signal light is green, the motor vehicle turns around across the stop line and crosswalk; When the signal light is a circular headlight, when the signal light is green, the motor vehicle turns around across the stop line and crosswalk.
