Correct answer

  • ANo, está prohibido.No, it is prohibited.
Explanation

In tunnels, the General Traffic Regulations (RGC) expressly prohibit making a U-turn. This is because visibility and safety are limited in these enclosed spaces, which can put in danger both the driver trying to make the manoeuvre and other road users. Article 79 says that a U-turn is prohibited in situations where you cannot check the traffic, including in tunnels.
