Can You Make a U-Turn in a Highway Service Area?
1 Answers
U-turns are not allowed in highway service areas, and the entire highway prohibits U-turns. To make a U-turn, you must exit at the next interchange and then turn around. Important considerations for highway driving include: 1. Both the driver and front-seat passenger must fasten their seat belts, and the driver should not use a mobile phone; 2. Avoid sudden steering wheel movements while driving at high speeds; 3. Do not change lanes arbitrarily—always use turn signals in advance when changing lanes or overtaking; 4. Only use adjacent lanes for overtaking, and return to the original lane immediately after overtaking. Do not drive straddling or pressing against lane dividers; 5. No reversing, driving against traffic, crossing the central divider for U-turns or turns, test driving, or operating a training vehicle. Do not overtake or park on ramps; 6. Maintain a following distance of at least 100 meters. When speed is below 100 km/h, the distance can be appropriately reduced but should never be less than 50 meters.
