For answer  A 

Indeed, U-turning the vehicles is prohibited in the places where the voluntary stopping of the vehicles is prohibited, with the exception of the intersections. However, confusion may be created between the prohibition of stopping and the prohibition of waiting on public roads with a width of less than 6 m. On these roads waiting is prohibited, not stopping. Thus, U-turning is not prohibited on public roads with a width of less than 6 m, answer A being wrong.

For answer  B 

U-turning the vehicles is prohibited in the places where the voluntary stopping of the vehicles is prohibited, but with the exception of the intersections. Therefore, in curves or in other places with visibility reduced under 50 meters, U-turning is prohibited, because in these areas voluntary stopping is prohibited, and the road legislation provides that U-turning is prohibited where voluntary stopping is not permitted.

For answer  C 

U-turning the vehicles is not expressly prohibited only because you move on roads with heavy traffic. In these areas U-turning is prohibited if there is a prohibition provided by the road legislation or established by means of signalling (signs, markings, etc.).

Therefore, if when moving on roads with heavy traffic there are no means of signalling or specific rules that prohibit U-turning, and the maneuver can be done safely and without disturbing the traffic, U-turning is not prohibited.

The correct answer is: B
