I'd say to be safe, i'd make a U-Turn when the light turns green. It ISN'T the same as making a left turn on a one way street (left turn is the same as making a regular right hand turn on a red light).

This whole thread is confusing me, so I could be repeating something. I do agree that it is illegal and dangerous. You think it is clear at first, but what about when your back is turned to the traffic after making the u-turn? It takes time to get at normal speed. I see enough trouble when it is just a green light (not an arrow) and the left turn lane has to yield to oncoming traffic. Also, what about the cars that are making a right turn into the same lane that you are trying to u-turn into?
