When are you allowed to make a u-turn?

  1. When there are no people, cars, or bicycles around

  2. When there is a traffic control device that permits the turn

  3. When you are on a one-way street

  4. When the road is clear

The correct answer is: When there is a traffic control device that permits the turn

You are allowed to make a u-turn when there is a traffic control device that specifically permits it. Options A, C and D may sometimes be true, but they are not always acceptable reasons to make a u-turn. For example, sometimes there may be no people or cars around, but there could be a sign that prohibits u-turns, making option A incorrect. Similarly, option C may be true for some one-way streets, but not all of them. Finally, option D may be true under certain circumstances, but it is not always the case. Only option B is a reliable and consistent indication that a u-turn is allowed.
