In which situation are U-turns never allowed?

• A. At a curve in the road
• B. On a straight road
• C. In front of a school
• D. In a parking lot

Answer: (A)

U-turns require a clear, straight path and good visibility to re-enter traffic safely. On a curve, your view of oncoming vehicles is blocked and your car naturally follows a curved path, making it easy to drift into the wrong lane or collide with traffic. That combination of limited visibility and imperfect alignment is why U-turns are not allowed on curves. On straight roads you generally have enough space and visibility to complete a U-turn where it’s permitted, while in front of a school or in a parking lot you must still follow signs and watch for pedestrians, but the curve remains the scenario where the maneuver is not allowed due to safety.
