BDifficulty 2/5

Where a U-turn is permitted, may you wait stationary on the carriageway to make it if you neither endanger nor obstruct other users?

Correct answer

Yes, provided it does not obstruct vehicles travelling behind.

Yes. Choose a suitable place, signal in advance and wait until the manoeuvre is safe, blocking the road for as little time as possible. If waiting there prevents following vehicles from continuing, article 78 requires leaving the carriageway on the right if possible and waiting for suitable conditions. There is no universal rule placing every U-turn in a left lane; follow the road layout and signs.
