U-turns are not legal in which of the following areas?

• A. On a street where you must use the center lane for through travel and the outside lanes for turning
• B. On a divided highway
• C. On a one-way street
• D. On a residential street

Answer: (C)

U-turns are not legal on a one-way street because traffic moves in only one direction. Turning around would require you to go the wrong way or cross opposing traffic, which creates a serious safety risk and is prohibited by law. In contrast, on other road types, a U-turn may be allowed at intersections or designated openings if there are no signs restricting it, so those situations aren’t universally forbidden. That’s why the one-way street is the correct choice.
