Question 7172

Unless it is expressly authorized, where is it prohibited to make a U-turn?

  1. In roundabouts.
  2. On all sections of the road where passing is prohibited.
  3. On conventional roads (carreteras convencionales) with only one lane for each direction of travel.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: On all sections of the road where passing is prohibited.

Unless a U-turn is expressly authorized, you must not make one on any section where passing is prohibited. A conventional road (carretera convencional) with one lane in each direction does not by itself prohibit it, and at a roundabout you may turn around by driving around it. In the image, the dark passenger car is turning next to a no-passing sign and across a solid line.
