Question 4062
When making a U-turn would obstruct the progress of vehicles traveling behind you, you must...
- leave the roadway on the right and wait until conditions allow you to perform the maneuver.
- wait until you can perform the maneuver.
- signal with the brake light to warn of your maneuver.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: leave the roadway on the right and wait until conditions allow you to perform the maneuver.
If waiting on the roadway prevents vehicles behind you from continuing, pull off the roadway to the right, if possible, and wait there until you can make a U-turn safely. That is what the yellow passenger car in the image is doing, with its left turn signal on. Staying stopped on the roadway blocks them, and brake lights do not signal a U-turn.
