When driving on a motorway or dual carriageway, is it permitted to use the existing crossings or openings in the median to make a U-turn?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

Article 79(1) of the General Traffic Regulations prohibits U-turns on motorways and dual carriageways, except in places provided for the purpose. The crossings in the median are not places provided for ordinary users: only priority vehicles on an emergency call may, exceptionally, enter the median or its transverse crossings (Article 68(1)). It is therefore not valid to argue that the crossing is open, without fences or barriers, or that there is no sign prohibiting it: the prohibition is general and does not depend on being marked by a sign. Anyone who needs to make a U-turn must do so in a place provided for that purpose, not by taking advantage of an opening in the median.
