Question 7174

When is it prohibited to make a U-turn?

  1. When there is no suitable place to make the maneuver.
  2. When the directions of travel are separated by a broken white line.
  3. When driving on a road that does not have priority.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: When there is no suitable place to make the maneuver.

To make a U-turn, you must choose a suitable place where you block the road for as little time as possible and can turn without endangering or obstructing anyone. If there is no such place, continue until you find one. You may cross a broken line, and a road without right-of-way does not prevent the maneuver. In the image, the blue passenger car is making a U-turn on a curve with a solid line and an oncoming car, a bad place to do it.
