Question 170 of 554

U-turning the motor vehicles is prohibited:

A on the pedestrian marking;
B in the area of crowded markets;
C in the action area of the sign “No waiting”.

Explanation

For answer  A 

The road traffic legislation prohibits the U-turning of the vehicle on the pedestrian marking. Moreover, the U-turning of the vehicles is prohibited where stopping and overtaking the vehicles are prohibited, and these manoeuvres are prohibited on the pedestrian crossings or at less than 25 m before and after them, therefore in these places the U-turning of the vehicle is also prohibited.


For answer  B 

The U-turning of the vehicles is not expressly prohibited only because you are in the area of a crowded market. In these areas the U-turning is prohibited if there is a prohibition provided by the road traffic legislation or instituted through means of signalling (signs, markings, etc.).

Therefore, if in the area of a crowded market there are no means of signalling or specific rules that prohibit the U-turning, and the manoeuvre can be done safely and without disturbing the traffic, the U-turning is not prohibited.


For answer  C 

The sign “No waiting” does not aim to prohibit the U-turning of the vehicles, but prohibits the voluntary waiting of the vehicles. It is true that the U-turning is prohibited in the areas where stopping is prohibited, but this sign does not prohibit stopping, but only waiting.

Therefore, in the action area of the sign “No waiting”, the U-turning of the vehicles is not prohibited.


The correct answer is: A
