Legality of a U-Turn at a Specific Intersection

My question involves a traffic ticket from the state of California and city of Chico.

Vehicle is traveling Southbound on Esplanade near the intersection of W Lincoln in the far left lane. Signal is green, traffic is heavy in both directions. Can a U-turn be legally made?
