Driving+Maneuvers





=U-Turn= A **U-turn** in driving refers to performing a 180 degree rotation to reverse the direction of travel. It is called a "U-turn" because the maneuver looks like the letter U. In some areas, the maneuver is illegal, while in others it is treated as a more ordinary turn, merely extended.

U-turns are often prohibited for various reasons:
 * At the crest of a hill or on a curve unless the driver can see at least 150 m ahead,
 * Anywhere a sign prohibits a U-Turn,
 * In urban areas between intersections,
 * At alleys and driveways,
 * At an intersection controlled by a traffic signal (unless signage or signals specifically allow this maneuver),
 * By a school bus on an undivided highway or on a divided highway where the length of the bus is longer than the width of the median between the two carriageways.
