Are you allowed to make a U-turn on a road beyond this information sign?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
NO
Explanation
In the video you are entering a dual carriageway with barriers, and on both sides of the roadway there are blue D-9 "motorway" signs. Beyond this sign you are not allowed to make a U-turn. The answer is: no.
The Road Traffic Act prohibits U-turns on a motorway, and also in a tunnel, on a bridge, on a flyover (viaduct), on a one-way road and on an expressway outside a junction or a place intended for this; the Regulation on road signs and signals states that sign D-9 means the start or continuation of a motorway. The roadways of a motorway are one-way and separated by a central reservation or a barrier - a U-turn would mean driving through a gap in the barrier and going against the traffic at speeds of up to 140 km/h. You change direction only at an interchange: you leave the motorway, drive along the slip road and join the roadway going in the opposite direction.
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
