Practice question

What do you do if you see a 'no U-turn' sign?

  1. Make the U-turn if no cars are present
  2. Do not make a U-turn at that intersection
  3. Attempt to turn around in the middle of the intersection
  4. Only stop if you see a police officer

Answer: B — Do not make a U-turn at that intersection

If you see a 'no U-turn' sign, the appropriate action is to refrain from making a U-turn at that intersection. This sign indicates that such maneuvers are prohibited due to safety reasons, which may include traffic patterns, visibility issues, or other hazards present at that location. Adhering to the sign is crucial to ensure both your safety and the safety of other road users. Ignoring this sign could potentially lead to accidents or traffic violations, resulting in penalties or fines. The sign serves to maintain smoother traffic flow and minimize disruptive behavior in areas where a U-turn could pose a danger.
