To make a U-turn you must be able to see how many meters in both directions?
- 50 metres
- 150 metres ✓
- 100 metres
- 250 metres
Answer: B. 150 metres
You need to be able to see 150 metres in both directions to make a U-turn.
Why this is the answer
The handbook says U-turns are illegal on or near the crest of a hill where you cannot be seen by other traffic within 150 metres. That is the visibility figure the manual ties to U-turn decisions, so it supports the 150-metre answer. The passage does not spell out a separate rule saying you must see exactly that far in both directions, but it uses 150 metres as the U-turn sight-distance number.
Why the other answers are wrong
- A. 50 metres — The handbook does not give 50 metres as the visibility distance for a U-turn.
- C. 100 metres — The handbook does not give 100 metres as the visibility distance for a U-turn.
- D. 250 metres — The handbook does not give 250 metres as the visibility distance for a U-turn.
Remember it
When a U-turn could hide you from traffic, remember the handbook's visibility number: 150 metres.
