In the situation presented, are you allowed to make a U-turn at this intersection?

In the video you are driving behind a light-coloured estate car in the left lane of a wide street and approaching a junction with traffic lights; signs F-11 showing directions hang above the lanes, and directional traffic lights S-3 on the left show a green signal with two arrows - to the left and for a U-turn. You are allowed to make a U-turn at this junction. The answer is: yes.

The Regulation on road signs and signals states that signals given by directional traffic lights S-3 apply to drivers travelling in the directions shown by the arrow or arrows, and a green signal on such traffic lights means that when driving in the direction shown there is no conflict with other road users. Since a U-turn arrow is lit next to the left arrow, a U-turn is clearly allowed in this phase and free of conflict - vehicles from the opposite direction and pedestrians on the crossings you drive over have red at that time. You make the U-turn from the far left lane, in an arc, without driving onto the pavement or traffic islands, and even though the movement is conflict-free, you watch whether someone is entering on red; a green left arrow alone, without a U-turn arrow, would not allow a U-turn.

Legal basis: § 97 para. 1 and 3 and § 72 para. 3 of the Regulation on road signs and signals
