What should you observe to decide whether it is possible to perform a U-turn?
Changing direction
Explanation
To decide if it is possible to make a **U-turn**, it is essential to observe **the road**. Here we explain why:
- **Road conditions**: Before making a U-turn, you must ensure that you will not interfere with other vehicles. You cannot perform the maneuver if you force other drivers to reduce their speed or if you could be a danger to them. If the road does not offer a safe place for the turn, such as a roundabout or a turning circle, you must continue until you find a suitable place.
- **Positioning on the road**: You must start the U-turn from the white line that separates lanes of different directions. If this is not possible, position yourself as close as possible to the right edge of the roadway.
- **Safety on the road**: If there is not enough shoulder or the place is not safe, it is better to wait or look for another place to make the U-turn. Safety is a priority and depends on the road conditions.
Therefore, observing the road allows you to assess whether it is safe and appropriate to make the U-turn, ensuring that you do not interfere with other vehicles and that the maneuver is carried out safely.
