Question 179 of 554

The U-turn of the vehicle is prohibited:

A in the places where voluntary waiting is prohibited;
B on the pedestrian marking;
C in the intersections in which the right turn is prohibited.

Explanation

For answer  A 

The U-turn of the vehicle is prohibited in the places where the voluntary stopping of vehicles is prohibited, but it is not prohibited in the places where the voluntary waiting of vehicles is prohibited.

We remind that the difference between stopping and waiting consists in the duration of immobilizing the vehicle. More exactly, the voluntary immobilization of a vehicle is considered stopping if it is done for a duration of no more than 5 minutes. , and if the immobilization is done for a duration greater than 5 minutes this is considered waiting.


For answer  B 

Road traffic legislation prohibits the U-turn of the vehicle on the pedestrian marking. Moreover, the U-turn of vehicles is prohibited where the stopping and overtaking of vehicles are prohibited, and these maneuvers are prohibited on pedestrian crossings or at less than 25 meters before and after these, thus in these places the U-turn of the vehicle is also prohibited.


For answer  C 

The U-turn of vehicles is allowed in intersections, including in those with traffic in the roundabout direction. However, the U-turn of the vehicle is prohibited in the intersections in which the left turn is prohibited, but it is not prohibited in the intersections in which the right turn is prohibited.


The correct answer is: B
