Alberta Class 7 Practice

U-turns A U-turn is done by turning your vehicle around at an intersection to go in the opposite direction by using oncoming lanes. This sign means U-turns are not allowed. Do not do a U-turn unless it can be done safely. U-turns are not permitted: • at an intersection controlled by a traffic control signal (traffic lights) unless permitted by a traffic control device • where a sign prohibits U-turns. In urban areas U-turns are not permitted: • on a roadway between intersections • at an alley intersection • at an intersection where one or more of the roadways is an access to a public or private parking lot which the public can access. Outside urban areas (rural) U-turns are not permitted: • on a curve • on an approach to or near the crest of a hill where the driver of another vehicle cannot see you that is within 150 metres approaching from either direction.
