Is a U-turn always prohibited at every junction?

Correct answer

No; applicable prohibitions and manoeuvre safety must be considered.

No: it depends on prohibitions and site conditions. Article 79 prohibits U-turns where overtaking is prohibited, unless the U-turn is expressly authorised, and at the other listed locations. Article 87 contains junction overtaking exceptions, such as roundabouts or carriageways with signposted priority. Article 78 always requires signalling and checking no danger or obstruction is caused. A sign permitting a left turn does not itself expressly authorise a U-turn where it is prohibited.
