Question 2750

At an intersection with a green traffic light, are you allowed to make a U-turn?

  1. Yes, in all cases, because I have the right-of-way.
  2. Yes, if it is not prohibited by a posted sign or pavement marking and the circumstances allow it.
  3. No, because U-turns are never allowed at intersections.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Yes, if it is not prohibited by a posted sign or pavement marking and the circumstances allow it.

A green traffic light allows you to proceed, but does not authorize every maneuver. You may make a U-turn if it is not prohibited and you can do so safely, without endangering or obstructing other road users.
