New York · Signs, Signals & Markings
When making a U-turn in New York, from which position must you begin the turn?
- From the left portion of the lane nearest to the centerline of the roadway
- From any lane, as long as the roadway is clear
- From the rightmost lane, moving across to the opposite side
- From either lane on a two-way road
Correct answer
From the left portion of the lane nearest to the centerline of the roadway
Why this is correct
You can make a U-turn only from the left portion of the lane nearest to the centerline of the roadway, never from the right lane. You cannot make a U-turn near the top of a hill, a curve or any other location where other drivers cannot see your vehicle from 500 feet away.
