Question 3952
On a road with two-way traffic, there are no signs or road markings that prohibit making a U-turn. When is it permitted to make a U-turn?
- Never.
- Whenever you want, because it is always permitted.
- When it does not endanger other road users.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: When it does not endanger other road users.
Even if no sign or marking prohibits it, before making a U-turn you must make sure you will not endanger or obstruct anyone, whether behind you or coming toward you. Choose a place with good visibility and signal well in advance. If you cannot do it safely, wait. That is why you cannot make a U-turn whenever you want, but it is not always prohibited either.
