On a motorway, is it permitted to use the openings in the central reservation to make a U-turn?
Highways and motorways
Explanation
On **motorways** and **dual carriageways**, it is **prohibited** to make a U-turn, except in places specifically designed for this purpose, such as **roundabouts** or **turnarounds**. These are semi-circular detours designed to allow a safe change of direction.
- **U-turn**: This involves turning around to drive in the opposite direction on the same road. It should not be done anywhere on the motorway, as it can be dangerous and is prohibited.
- **Prohibited places**: In addition to motorways, U-turns are prohibited on curves, hill crests, tunnels, level crossings, and in conditions of low visibility such as fog or heavy rain.
Therefore, on a motorway, the median crossings cannot be used to make a U-turn, as it is **prohibited** by traffic regulations.
