At a junction, the circular traffic light controlling your movement is steady red and no officer directs you to proceed. May you pass it to make a U-turn?

Correct answer

No.

No. Steady red prohibits proceeding for the movement it controls. The 15-metre limit for certain reversing manoeuvres does not permit passing a red light. When permitted to proceed, a U-turn may be made only where allowed, at a suitable location and without endangering or obstructing others, under articles 78 and 79. Merely lacking priority is not an independent blanket prohibition of every U-turn.
