Question 5694

Are U-turns allowed in roundabouts?

  1. Yes, always keeping the central island or traffic island to the left.
  2. No, unless a sign expressly authorizes them.
  3. No, because it is an intersection and it is prohibited.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Yes, always keeping the central island or traffic island to the left.

Yes. A roundabout is an intersection, but the prohibition on passing at intersections does not apply there, so neither does the prohibition on U-turns. Drive around with the central traffic island on your left and exit onto the road you came from.
