No. Bicycles travelling on a public roadway are subject to the same traffic laws as motor vehicles. Making a U-turn and driving into oncoming traffic would be unlawful for a motor vehicle and thus, also for a bicyclist.
A "Center left turn lane".
Bicycles operating on the public roads and streets must follow the same traffic laws as motor vehicles. If your move would place you or the motor vehicle traffic in jeapordy, no, of course not.
To properly execute a left turn on a bike, signal your intention by extending your left arm out to the side. Check for traffic behind you and in front of you. Move into the left lane when it is safe to do so, and make the turn by looking over your left shoulder and steering the bike smoothly to the left. Be sure to yield to any oncoming traffic and pedestrians.
Yes, it is legal in most states. Just move into the turn lane and make sure there is no oncoming traffic. Wait till there is an opening, and accelerate into traffic. This is not a big deal, if done correctly.
To properly make a right turn at an intersection, signal your intention to turn, check for pedestrians and oncoming traffic, slow down, and make the turn from the right lane closest to the curb. Yield to any pedestrians and oncoming traffic before completing the turn.
To properly execute a right turn at an intersection, signal your intention to turn, check for pedestrians and oncoming traffic, slow down, and make the turn from the right lane closest to the curb. Yield to any pedestrians in the crosswalk and oncoming traffic before completing the turn.
To safely navigate a busy intersection while turning left on a bike, follow these steps: Signal your intention to turn left by extending your left arm out. Position yourself in the leftmost lane or left turn lane, if available. Wait for a green light or a safe gap in traffic before proceeding to turn left. Yield to pedestrians and oncoming traffic. Look over your shoulder to check for vehicles approaching from behind. Make the left turn when it is safe to do so, staying in your designated lane.
An advanced green is a type of traffic light signal present in some jurisdictions in Canada, where the green light initially flashes while the matching light for oncoming traffic remains red, signalling to drivers that they may make an unobstructed turn across the oncoming lane while the flashing continues.
If you are referencing the "green arrow" to come on again, no, but you are suppose to "yield" to oncoming traffic, especially, more than likely, they have a green light to go. For example, if you are heading north in the north lane and a car is heading south on the south lane, but gets in the turning lane to make a left turn and there is no green arrow but their light is green, it is legal to turn, but you have to yield to oncoming traffic, make sure oncoming traffic is clear before you go out in the road. If not, it could cause a major accident.Added to clarify: If the green left arrow goes out and is replaced by a red left arrow or a red bullseye clearly meant to control the left turn lane, THEN you must wait until the next green arrow in order to make your turn.
A "Center Lane Only" sign indicates that the lane it designates is reserved for specific maneuvers, typically allowing vehicles to make left turns or U-turns. Drivers in this lane should be prepared to yield to oncoming traffic when turning. Other vehicles must not use this lane for through travel or passing. It's important to adhere to this sign to ensure safe and efficient traffic flow.

It depends on what you mean by 'ongoing'. If you are waiting to make a left, the traffic moving in the opposite direction is called the oncoming traffic. If you did not yield to the oncoming traffic, or did not wait for it to clear the intersection before you turned, then you are at fault for the accident. If you are waiting to make a left and a car moving the same direction as you are facing hits you, then the car that hit you is at fault IF you were stopped and/or signaling that you were turning left. When making a left turn from the left lane, cars on your side of the road are supposed to pass your car in the lane to the right of you; if you are making a left from the only lane, the cars behind you are supposed to stop and wait for you to make the turn.
