That varies greatly from state to state. Some allow U turns as long as the intersection is not marked prohibiting them and others do not allow it at all.

You will need to check your local laws.

No. In Oregon you cannot make a U-turn at any intersection unless an official sign specifically permits it (e.g. a sign reading "U-turn permitted"). The following is more information about u-turns from the Oregon Driver Manual 2007-2009.

Reverse or U-turns are prohibited in these locations:

• In any intersection controlled by a traffic signal, unless a sign

permits the turn.

• Between intersections in a city.

• At any other urban location where you cannot see traffic coming

from both directions for 500 feet.

• In rural areas if you cannot see approaching traffic from either

direction for 1,000 feet.

• At any location where U-turns are prohibited by official signs

or markings.

You can't make a U-turn on a one-way street for ANY reason. If you did you'd be driving the wrong way AGAINST oncoming traffic.

No. It is illegal to make a U-turn at any intersection that has a traffic signal, regardless of what color the light is. Traffic laws are set by each state, but this is true in all states.

A solid red arrow specifically prohibits a turn in the direction the arrow is pointing, so no, you cannot.

Yes, but you are required to first stop and yield right of way to traffic turning in the same direction as you from the opposite lane (if it's a factor).

Can you ever make a left turn on a red light?

Right-side driving No one can make you do anything except for the authorities. However, since you cannot turn left on a red, you must turn if the traffic signal says to turn left. Otherwise, you are blocking traffic and that is illegal. You can only make right turns on a red. Left-side driving Many intersections have a "free left", where you can turn left because there is no other traffic that will cross your path, or an unregulated left where the light does not cover it and you are able to turn when safe to do so.
