AMDifficulty 2/5

When a vehicle makes a 180-degree turn to continue travelling on the same road but in the opposite direction, what is this manoeuvre called?

Correct answer

A U-turn.

It is a U-turn: the vehicle turns around to continue along the same road in the opposite direction. It differs from turning into another road and from reversing. Identifying the manoeuvre does not establish that it is permitted there; prohibitions and safety conditions must be observed.
