If the road has a traffic loop ('raqueta') or specific infrastructure for making turns, is it mandatory to use it?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is that it is always mandatory to use it. Traffic loops (known as 'raquetas') are designed to channel vehicles out of the main traffic flow, allowing changes of direction or U-turns without obstructing or endangering other road users. According to traffic regulations, if specific infrastructure for turning exists, the driver must refrain from making the maneuver directly from the main roadway and is obliged to use said infrastructure, even if there is no specific vertical mandatory sign at that exact point.
