Peru
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 Peruvian junctions or crossings?
No. U-turns are prohibited at intersections and pedestrian crossings.
How close to Peruvian bridges are U-turns prohibited?
U-turns are prohibited less than 200 metres from bridges. The same restriction covers curves, tunnels, elevated structures, level crossings and hill crests. U-turns are also prohibited at intersections, pedestrian crossings and wherever the signs prohibit them.
