In traffic language, a **U-turn** means making a **half turn** to continue driving on the same road, but in the opposite direction. This is achieved by making a **180-degree turn**.

- The U-turn maneuver should be performed with a single turn of the vehicle, without using reverse gear, unless it is absolutely necessary, such as in the case of a street blocked by construction.
- It is important to start the U-turn from the white line that separates lanes of different directions or, if not possible, from the right edge of the road.
- This maneuver should not be performed if it forces other drivers to slow down or if it creates a danger for them. In such cases, it is better to wait on the shoulder until it is safe to make the turn.


Therefore, a U-turn involves a **180-degree** turn, not 360 degrees or 90 degrees, to change direction on the same road.
