U-turn
A U-turn is done by turning your vehicle around at an intersection to go in the opposite direction by using oncoming lanes.
In context — chapter 4, U-turns
A U-turn is done by turning your vehicle around at an intersection to go in the opposite direction by using oncoming lanes. This sign means U-turns are not allowed. Do not do a U-turn unless it can be done safely. U-turns are not permitted:
- at an intersection controlled by a traffic control signal (traffic lights) unless permitted by a traffic control device
- where a sign prohibits U-turns. In urban areas U-turns are not permitted:
- on a roadway between intersections
- at an alley intersection
- at an intersection where one or more of the roadways is an access to a public or private parking lot which the public can access. Outside urban areas (rural) U-turns are not permitted:
- on a curve
- on an approach to or near the crest of a hill where the driver of another vehicle cannot see you that is within
150 metres approaching from either direction.
