Intersections and illegal U-turns

Rule: Turning left, doing a U-turn and turning left again, to avoid a red light, is treated the same as jumping a red light, and gets the same fine.

Traffic Logic: While doing the U-turn, you would be cutting across the same traffic that the red light was stopping you from, with the same risks.

Rule: You are not allowed to do a U-turn at an intersection where opposing traffic is also ‘green’. Busy T-intersections either have a U-turn signal on the straight leg, or a ‘No U-turn’ sign. If so, take the left road, do a U-turn at a cut or circle (not an intersection), and take the right at the signal when you come back to it.

Traffic Logic: Due to the turning radius of your vehicle, you would cut across the entire on-coming traffic, which is not safe.
