Do not make a ____ turn on a curve, or near the top of a hill or where you cannot be seen by another driver within 500 feet.

• A. U Turn
• B. Left Turn
• C. Right Turn
• D. Three-Point Turn

Answer: (A)

U-turns require enough visibility to see oncoming traffic and enough space to complete the turn safely. On a curve, at the crest of a hill, or anywhere you cannot be seen by another driver within 500 feet, you don’t have that safe sight distance. Approaching vehicles could come into your path unexpectedly, leaving you with little or no time to react, which makes a U-turn there dangerous and often illegal. The guidance is to avoid turning around in those spots and instead proceed to a straight, well-visible area or use a safer place such as an intersection or open side street to turn around. The other turns describe different maneuvers and aren’t the action being addressed by this specific safety rule.
