Question 7163

The vehicle enters the roadway on the right to make a U-turn. Is it correct for it to do so via the main roadway?

  1. No, because it must also go around the traffic island on the oncoming-traffic side.
  2. Yes, because there is no sign prohibiting it.
  3. No, because it must position itself in the center of the main roadway.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Yes, because there is no sign prohibiting it.

Yes. In the image, the gray passenger car enters the loop on the right to go around its traffic island, then cross the main roadway and head back the way it came. No sign or road marking requires a different route or prohibits that turn, so it may do this if it does not endanger or obstruct anyone. It does not have to go around the traffic island on the other side as well or first position itself in the center of the main roadway.
