Are changes in direction allowed at intersections?
Changing direction
Explanation
To make a **change of direction** at an intersection, it is important to follow certain rules to ensure safety:
- **Changes of direction can be made at intersections**, as long as the necessary precautions are taken. Before turning, make sure that oncoming vehicles are far enough away and at a speed that does not pose a danger.
- When turning to the **right**, you should get as close as possible to the edge of the roadway. To turn to the **left**, the position varies depending on the type of road:
- On a one-way road, get close to the left edge.
- On a two-way road, position yourself next to the white line separating the lanes. If there is no line, get close to the opposite lane without invading it.
- On two-way roads with three lanes, use the center lane.
- When making the turn, go through the **center of the intersection** and leave it on your left, avoiding crossing diagonally.
- On interurban roads, bicycles and mopeds should position themselves to the right of the lane and off the roadway if possible, waiting until it is safe to turn.
These guidelines ensure that the change of direction is made safely and efficiently at intersections.
