Correct answer

  • CEn un lugar adecuado, de forma que interceptemos la vía lo menos posible.At a suitable place, so that we block the road as little as possible.

To make a U-turn you must choose a suitable place, so that you block the road as little as possible. If staying on the carriageway would stop other vehicles from continuing, you must leave it on the right-hand side and wait until traffic conditions allow the U-turn.
