BDifficulty 2/5

At a marked pedestrian crossing, without express authorisation or an officer’s order, may you make a U-turn to travel in the opposite direction?

Correct answer

No.

No. The overtaking prohibition at pedestrian crossings and nearby relates to the Article 79 prohibition on U-turns on such sections. Absence of pedestrians or oncoming traffic does not authorise the manoeuvre. A U-turn is not the same as any turn; also obey signs and officers’ orders.
