Turns, Lanes, Passing & MergingStandalone practice
You need to turn around on a two-lane street. No sign prohibits U-turns, the center line is broken, and traffic is light. Which place meets the Rhode Island manual's guidance for a turnabout?
Correct answer: A straight, level spot 300 feet from the nearest intersection, with a clear view of 600 feet each way
Why
A turnabout puts your car across the travel lanes for several seconds, so other drivers must see you in time to stop. Also make sure that you will not cross a solid yellow line and that no pedestrians are in your path. On a narrow street, a three-point turn may be the safest choice.
