On a motorway, is it permitted to change direction using the central reservation crossover?
Highways and motorways
Explanation
On **motorways** and **dual carriageways**, it is **prohibited** to make a U-turn using the central reservation. This is because these roads are designed for fast and smooth traffic, and a change of direction in the central reservation could be very dangerous.
- Motorways and dual carriageways have specific places prepared to make U-turns safely, such as cloverleaf interchanges or overpasses. Outside of these places, U-turns are not allowed.
- Additionally, in situations where visibility is reduced, such as in curves, crests, fog, or heavy rain, making a U-turn is also prohibited to prevent accidents.
Therefore, on a motorway, you cannot make a change of direction using the central reservation because it is explicitly prohibited for safety reasons.
