In this situation, are you allowed to make a U-turn at the nearest intersection?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
NO
Explanation
In the video you are driving along a city street next to tram tracks and approaching a junction, before which there is sign B-21 "no left turn" on the right. This sign prohibits not only a left turn but also a U-turn, so you are not allowed to make a U-turn at the nearest junction. The answer is: no.
The Regulation on road signs and signals provides that signs B-21 "no left turn" and B-22 "no right turn" prohibit turning in the direction shown on the sign, and sign B-21 also prohibits U-turns; these bans apply at the nearest junction. The logic is simple: a U-turn begins with a left turn and crosses the same traffic paths that the ban is meant to protect - for example the tram tracks running alongside. If you need to change direction, you go straight on and make a U-turn at the next junction where there is no such ban.
Legal basis: § 22 para. 1 and 2 of the Regulation on road signs and signals
