Correct answer

  • Bsalir de la calzada por la derecha y esperar hasta que las condiciones permitan hacer la maniobra.leave the carriageway on the right and wait until conditions allow you to make the manoeuvre.
Explanation

If, while you wait to make a U-turn, staying on the carriageway prevents vehicles behind from continuing, you must leave it on the right-hand side, if possible, until traffic allows you to make the manoeuvre (Article 78.1 of the General Traffic Regulations (RGC)).
