Western Australia · Theory Test (CTT) · Intersections

May you make a U-turn at an intersection controlled by traffic lights in WA?

The answer

  • Yes, from the left lane only
  • Only between 9am and 4pm
  • Yes, on a green light when it is safe
  • Only if a 'U TURN PERMITTED' sign is displayed Correct

Why that's the answer

You cannot make a U-turn at an intersection with traffic control signals unless a 'U TURN PERMITTED' sign is displayed there. A green light on its own does not authorise it.
