At an intersection showing a left-turn signal (green arrow), you want to go back the way you came (U-turn). There is no safety sign permitting U-turns here. Which TWO statements are correct? Select TWO
- Your car (blue) is in lane 1 with the left signal on
- Signal ahead: green left-turn arrow
- No sign permitting U-turns
On a green arrow, vehicles may proceed only in the direction the arrow points (Annex 2 of the Enforcement Rule). At a signalized intersection, a U-turn is allowed only where a sign or similar indication permits it, so do not confuse a left-turn signal with permission to make a U-turn.
Answer: ①, ③
Explanation
On a green arrow, vehicles may proceed in the direction of the arrow (Enforcement Rule, Annex 2), so a left arrow permits a left turn, not a U-turn. At a signalized intersection, U-turns are made only where permitted, for example by a U-turn sign (Annex 6, No. 311), so here you turn left or go straight and turn around at a place where U-turns are allowed. Making a U-turn because no cars are coming, or hurrying to do so, is wrong.
