Question 4372
On this narrow road you want to make a U-turn. Where must you position yourself to avoid inconveniencing other vehicles?
- At the right edge of the roadway and wait until you can do it safely.
- In the center of the roadway, without occupying the oncoming lane.
- On the line dividing the two directions of travel, going slightly past it if necessary.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: At the right edge of the roadway and wait until you can do it safely.
On a narrow road, if you wait in the middle of the roadway to make a U-turn, vehicles behind you cannot continue. That is why you pull over to the right edge, or off the roadway to the right if there is room, like the gray passenger car in the image, and wait until you can turn safely. Positioning yourself on the center line or crossing it puts you in the path of oncoming traffic.
