Are you allowed to make a U-turn on the road marked in such a way?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
NO
Explanation
In the photo, on the right, there is sign D-9 "motorway", and the road has barriers on both sides and no level junctions. On a motorway U-turns are prohibited everywhere, without exceptions. The answer is: no.
The Road Traffic Act lists the motorway among the places where U-turns are prohibited, along with a tunnel, a bridge, a flyover and a one-way road. The motorway roadways are one-way and separated by a central reservation, so a U-turn would only be possible through an emergency crossing in the barriers, and these are only for the emergency services. If you miss your exit, you drive to the next interchange - a few extra kilometres is nothing compared with driving the wrong way, which on a motorway ends in a head-on collision.
Legal basis: Art. 22 para. 6 point 2 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym); § 48 para. 2 of the Regulation on road signs and signals
