U-Turns
You should make a U-turn only when traffic conditions make it completely safe to do so.
- Check there are no signs or road markings prohibiting a U-turn, for example a continuous centre white line.
- Check that the road is not one way.
- Look for a safe place, where you can see clearly in all directions.
- Give way to all other road users.
- Check carefully for cyclists and motorcyclists.
- Do not delay or prevent pedestrians from crossing safely.
- Make sure there is sufficient room to complete your manoeuvre safely and smoothly.
See the Junctions and roundabouts section for rules/guidelines on turning.
