The traffic light made it illegal. In any other intersection, unless a sign prohibits it, it's legal.

Do not do a U-turn unless you can do it safely. U-turns are not permitted:
• at an intersection controlled by a traffic control signal (traffic lights) unless permitted by a traffic control device
• where a sign prohibits U-turns
In urban areas U-turns are not permitted:
• on a roadway between intersections
• at an alley intersection
• at an intersection where one or more of the roadways is an access to a public or private parking lot which the public can access
Outside urban areas (rural) U-turns are not permitted:
• on a curve
• approach to or near the crest of a hill where the driver of another vehicle cannot see you that is approaching within 150 metres from either direction
