Correct answer
No; being open does not authorise that U-turn.
No. An open median crossing or the absence of a prohibition sign does not authorise ordinary road users to use it for a U-turn. On motorways and dual carriageways, U-turns are made only at places designated for the purpose, normally via an interchange following its signs. This situation is not a special operation directed by an officer or an emergency priority vehicle. Continue to a designated place and never start a dangerous manoeuvre through a service opening.
