Are you allowed to make a U-turn at this intersection from the lane you are taking?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
NO
Explanation
In the photo you are driving on a wide street in a town, in a lane with arrow P-8b for turning left; on your left there is one more lane, also with a left arrow, and on your right there are lanes for going straight on. Your lane is not the far-left lane, so you must not make a U-turn from it. The answer is: no.
The Regulation on road signs and signals states that the permission to make a U-turn that comes from a left arrow applies only to the far-left lane. If U-turns were allowed from both left-turn lanes, the path of a vehicle from the second lane would cross the path of vehicles turning from the far-left lane. From your lane you turn left; if you want to make a U-turn, you move earlier into the lane next to the left edge.
Legal basis: § 87 para. 1 and 2 of the Regulation on road signs and signals
