Will you be allowed to make a U-turn at this intersection after the light turns green?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
NO
Explanation
You are waiting in the lane for turning left. Above your lane there are directional traffic lights, which are now showing a red and an amber left arrow, and next to them there is board F-11 with a left arrow. When the green arrow lights up, you will only be able to turn left. A U-turn is not a direction shown by the arrow, so it remains prohibited.
Directional traffic lights S-3 apply only to driving in the direction shown by the arrow. The Regulation on road signs and signals adds that a left arrow on a lane direction board or on the roadway also allows a U-turn, unless traffic is controlled by directional traffic lights S-3 - and that is exactly the case here. At directional traffic lights you can make a U-turn only when they show an arrow for a U-turn.
Legal basis: § 97 para. 1, § 72 para. 3 and § 87 para. 2 of the Regulation on road signs and signals
