Correct answer
- ASí, si no está prohibido mediante señal vertical o marca vial y las circunstancias lo permiten.Yes, if it is not prohibited by a road sign or road marking and the circumstances allow it.
Explanation
At a junction controlled by traffic lights you may make a U-turn if no road sign or road marking prohibits it and you can do it safely, without hindering others. A green light does not give absolute priority for any manoeuvre.
