1. U-turn
A U-turn is a driving manoeuvre in which a vehicle turns around to travel in the opposite direction. It normally involves crossing part of the roadway and re-entering traffic facing the direction from which the vehicle came.
Before making a U-turn, the driver should check surrounding traffic, pedestrians and cyclists, signal when required and make sure there is enough visibility and space to complete the manoeuvre safely. U-turns may be prohibited by traffic signs or on particular types of roads.
Where do Brazilian roads with shoulders allow U-turns?
Use appropriate places; otherwise wait on the right shoulder until crossing safely.
Where may Brazilian urban U-turns be made?
At designated or suitable safe places, considering traffic, pedestrians, cyclists and conditions.
Can you U-turn on Brazilian bridges or tunnels?
No. Both locations are prohibited.
Can Brazilian U-turns cross pedestrian markings?
