Chile
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.
Can you U-turn at Chilean junctions?
No. U-turns at road and street intersections are prohibited.
Can you U-turn on Chilean pedestrian crossings?
No. U-turns are prohibited there.
How close to Chilean bridges are U-turns prohibited?
U-turns are prohibited less than 200 metres from bridges. The same distance restriction covers curves, crests or gradients, railway crossings, viaducts and tunnels. Separate prohibitions also apply at road and street intersections, pedestrian crossings and wherever signs prohibit the manoeuvre.
