Turns, Lanes, Passing & MergingStandalone practice
On an undivided rural highway, you want to make a U-turn just below the top of a hill. Drivers coming over the hill could not see you until they are about 300 feet away. May you make the U-turn there?
Correct answer: No. Drivers from either direction must be able to see you within 500 feet.
Why
A U-turn puts your vehicle across the road, where a driver who comes over a hill may not be able to stop. The manual also bans U-turns where signs forbid them, where an officer directs traffic, and mid-block in a business district. SDCL 32-26-25 bans U-turns in a marked no-passing zone and wherever the turn is not safe.
