Making a U-turn on a road is permitted as long as we do it in a suitable place. It is prohibited in any situation that prevents us from checking that we will not endanger or obstruct other road users, for example on bends and brows of hills with reduced visibility, or in fog or heavy rain. U-turns are also prohibited: - On level crossings (it is not prohibited near them). - In tunnels, underpasses and stretches of road covered by the 'Tunnel' sign. - On motorways (autopistas) and dual carriageways (autovías), except at places provided for this. - On one-way carriageways and stretches of road. - On all stretches of road where overtaking is prohibited, unless the U-turn is expressly authorised.
