At an intersection, is it permitted to make a U-turn?
U-turns
Explanation
The **U-turn** is a maneuver that allows you to turn around to drive in the opposite direction on the same road. However, **as a general rule, making a U-turn at an intersection is not allowed**.
- There are **specific restrictions** for making U-turns. For example, it is prohibited on curves, crests with limited visibility, level crossings, tunnels, highways, and expressways, unless there are places specifically prepared for it. It is also prohibited on one-way roads and in places where overtaking is not allowed, unless a sign indicates otherwise.
- Additionally, a U-turn should not be made if it forces other drivers to reduce their speed or if it poses a danger to them. In these cases, it is necessary to wait on the shoulder until it is safe to perform the maneuver.
- In situations where it is not safe or allowed, you should continue until you find a suitable place to make a U-turn, such as a **roundabout** or a **turnaround** on the road.
For these reasons, the correct answer is that **making a U-turn at an intersection is not allowed as a general rule**.
