On a general road (not an expressway), you intend to make a U-turn at a point where U-turns are allowed. Which is the correct way to signal with the turn signal?
💡 Hint
For signaling, a U-turn falls in the same group as a left turn and changing lanes to the left (Article 21 and Appendix 2 of the Enforcement Decree of the Road Traffic Act). Remember that the distance at which to start signaling differs between general roads and expressways, and that hazard lights do not show your direction.
Answer: ②
Explanation
A U-turn falls in the same category as a left turn, crossing and changing course to the left, so you use the left turn signal and signal from at least 30 m (100 m on expressways) before that point (Enforcement Decree Article 21, Appended Table 2, item 1). Turning it on only as you start gives others no warning, and hazard lights do not indicate your direction.
