- CNo.No.
A U-turn is prohibited in any situation where you cannot check that you 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. A U-turn is 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 in the places provided for it. - On one-way carriageways and stretches of road. - On all stretches of road where overtaking is prohibited, unless the U-turn is expressly allowed.
