U-turns
You can only make a U-turn at traffic lights where there is a U-TURN PERMITTED sign.
At intersections without traffic lights or breaks in the centre island of the road you must not do a U-turn if there is a NO U-TURN sign.
You must not do a U-turn across a single or double continuous centre line or a continuous centre line to the left of a broken line.
You can make a U-turn if you:
- have a clear view of approaching traffic
- can safely make a U-turn without obstructing the free movement of traffic
- give way to all vehicles and pedestrians
- there are no signs or road markings stating that U-turns are not permitted.
When you are doing a U-turn, you must give way to all other vehicles and pedestrians even if other vehicles are facing a GIVE WAY or STOP sign.
