In this situation, can you make a U-turn at the intersection?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
YES
Explanation
In the video you have stopped in the left lane at a junction in town next to tram tracks; the directional traffic lights S-3 by your lane, after red and amber, start showing a combined green arrow to the left and for a U-turn. In this situation you are allowed to make a U-turn at the junction. The answer is: yes.
The Regulation on road signs and signals states that the signals of directional traffic lights S-3 apply to drivers travelling in the directions shown by the arrows, and a green signal of these traffic lights means that there is no collision with other road users. An arrow bent downwards is the symbol of a U-turn, so a green left arrow with this addition allows you both to turn and to make a U-turn. You make the U-turn with your left indicator on, checking that the tracks next to you are clear and that you will fit on the roadway on the other side.
Legal basis: § 97 para. 1 and 3 of the Regulation on road signs and signals
