You stop in a lane waiting to make a U-turn, is this allowed?
Changing direction
Explanation
To perform a **U-turn** on the road, it is important to follow certain rules to ensure the safety of all road users.
- A U-turn involves turning around to drive in the opposite direction on the same road. This maneuver must be done with a single turn of the vehicle and without using reverse gear, except in exceptional situations such as streets blocked by construction.
- It is crucial that when stopping in a lane to make the U-turn, **you do not obstruct vehicles traveling behind you**. This means you should not force drivers coming from behind to reduce their speed or put them in danger.
- If it is not safe to make the U-turn because you might obstruct other vehicles, you should stop on the right shoulder and wait until it is safe to proceed.
- There are places where U-turns are prohibited, such as on curves with limited visibility, in foggy or heavy rain conditions, at level crossings, tunnels, and on highways and expressways, except in areas designated for this purpose.
By following these guidelines, you can perform a U-turn safely and legally, always ensuring that you do not interfere with the flow of traffic behind you.
