Are you allowed to make a U-turn on the bridge?

In the photo you are driving onto a bridge in the rain: there are stone railings on both sides, and on the right there are signs B-18 (no entry for vehicles with an actual total mass over 20 t) and B-5 (no entry for lorries) and a board with the name of the watercourse. U-turns are prohibited on a bridge. The answer is: no.

The Road Traffic Act lists a bridge, a flyover, a tunnel and a one-way road among the places where U-turns are prohibited. A bridge is narrow, has poor visibility at its ends and no space to escape, and wet paving stones, as in the photo, make every manoeuvre take even longer. You make a U-turn only after the bridge, at a junction or at another place where you will not endanger anyone or obstruct traffic.
