Under what condition can you legally make a U-turn?

Making a U-turn is generally permitted at intersections or designated areas because these locations are specifically designed to provide the necessary space for such maneuvers while ensuring safety for all road users. Intersections often have clear visibility and defined lanes, which help to manage oncoming traffic and improve the safety of the turn.

Designated areas for U-turns, such as certain signs or marked lanes, further indicate where this action is legally allowed, ensuring that drivers are not obstructing traffic or putting themselves and others in danger. In contrast, making a U-turn anywhere else can be hazardous, as it may occur where visibility is limited or where traffic rules do not support such actions, leading to potential accidents.
