Correct answer
- BNo, en ningún caso.No, never.
A U-turn is prohibited in any situation where you cannot check that you will not endanger or obstruct other road users, even without a specific sign: 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 (not prohibited near them). - In tunnels, underpasses and stretches of road covered by the 'Tunnel' sign. - On autopistas (motorways) and autovías (dual carriageways), 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.
