Is it permitted to make a U-turn on a section of road where overtaking is prohibited?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

As a general rule, U-turns are prohibited on all road sections where overtaking is prohibited. This is because the ban on overtaking is usually associated with reduced visibility (curves, crests) or hazardous conditions that would make a U-turn—a maneuver requiring more time and space—excessively dangerous. The only exception to this rule is if there is specific signage expressly permitting it (a sign indicating a place to turn around), thereby ensuring safety.
