Question 5044
The yellow vehicle has stopped because it wants to make a U-turn. Is this correct, given the circumstances?
- Yes, because the longitudinal line separating the directions of travel is a broken line.
- No, since it prevents the other vehicles from proceeding.
- Yes, because the vehicle traveling in the opposite direction must let it make the maneuver.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: No, since it prevents the other vehicles from proceeding.
No. You may wait stopped in your lane to make a U-turn if vehicles behind you can continue. In the image, the yellow passenger car has the red and white cars behind it, and they cannot get past while the green car is approaching from the opposite direction. It must pull off the roadway to the right, if possible, and wait there. The broken line does not give it the right to stay there, and the oncoming driver is not required to help it make the maneuver.
