At an intersection, is it permitted to make a U-turn?

Correct answer

No, it is always prohibited.

As a general rule, making a U-turn at an intersection is prohibited in most cases. The main aim of this restriction is to maintain order and safety in road traffic, since making a sharp turn at an intersection can be dangerous and cause conflicts with other vehicles on the same road. However, there are exceptions to this rule. Firstly, U-turns are permitted at roundabouts and circular traffic plazas. In addition, at some intersections where we have priority and signs indicate it, U-turns are permitted. For example, if there is a sign at an intersection indicating that we may turn left, this manoeuvre may be carried out, provided that it is done safely and in accordance with the traffic rules.
