In which places is it generally forbidden to make a U-turn?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

Traffic regulations establish a fundamental safety rule: where overtaking is forbidden, making a U-turn is also forbidden. This is because overtaking bans are usually motivated by a lack of visibility (such as in curves or hill crests), which makes a slow maneuver like a U-turn extremely dangerous. Important details:  The general rule: If signage or visibility prevents overtaking, you generally cannot turn around either, unless a sign expressly authorizes it (for example, a designated turnaround area).  About Roundabouts: It is incorrect to think it is forbidden there; on the contrary, roundabouts are specifically designed to facilitate changes of direction and U-turns by following the traffic circle.  Safety: A U-turn requires invading the opposite lane for a considerable time, so visibility must be perfect.
