As a general rule, is it permitted to perform a U-turn at an intersection?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is No, as a general rule. The General Traffic Regulations prohibit U-turns at intersections and in their vicinity for safety and traffic flow reasons. However, there are important exceptions: it is allowed if it is a roundabout or if there is a sign granting us priority (right of way) at that crossing (such as the R-3 sign or a traffic light explicitly authorizing it). For this reason, the option stating it is 'totally prohibited in any case' is false.
