For answer  A 

The road legislation prohibits the U-turn of the vehicle on the roads on which the traffic takes place one-way. If you would make the U-turn of the vehicle, considering that the traffic takes place one-way, you would drive in the opposite direction to the vehicles which move in compliance with the traffic rules, more exactly you would drive on the opposite direction.

For answer  B 

The U-turn of vehicles is NOT prohibited in the intersections, neither in those with traffic in a roundabout, or at less than 50 meters from the nearest corner of an intersection. But the U-turn of the vehicle is prohibited in the intersections in which the left turn is prohibited or in the intersections in which the maneuvering of the vehicle forward and backward is required.

For answer  C 

The U-turn of vehicles is NOT prohibited at less than 100 meters from the level crossings with the railway, but it is prohibited on the level crossings with the current railway and at a distance less than 50 meters before and after these.

If you would select answer C you would agree that the U-turn of vehicles is prohibited at a distance included between 50 and 100 meters (from 50 to 100 meters) from the level crossing with the current railway, which is wrong.

The correct answer is: A
