Where does Florida law say you must never make a three-point turn or a U-turn?
-
A.
A curve, a hill, the highway, or a No U-Turn sign Correct
-
B.
On any residential street with parked cars
-
C.
In parking lots and private driveways
-
D.
Only where a No U-Turn sign is posted
The answer is "A curve, a hill, the highway, or a No U-Turn sign"
The manual bans the maneuver in the same four places for both moves: a curve, a hill, the highway, or where a sign prohibits U-turns. A curve or a hill blocks the sight line you need to cross the lane; the highway is listed separately as its own prohibited setting, where speeds and traffic pattern make any turnaround unsafe. Drivers who trained on obeying posted No U-Turn signs, and never learned that the three unsigned locations carry the same ban with no sign in view, are the ones who pick the sign-only choice and miss it.
The traps in the wrong answers
B. On any residential street with parked cars
Parked cars are not one of the four locations the manual lists for this ban. This answer swaps the manual's four listed locations for a familiar neighborhood obstacle, treating any tight-visibility stretch as the rule rather than the specific curve, hill, highway, or posted sign the manual names.
C. In parking lots and private driveways
The manual's four prohibited locations are all public-road settings; it does not bar these maneuvers on private property. This answer carries over the rule of thumb that wide turnaround maneuvers belong off public roads, though Florida ties this ban to specific curve, hill, and highway settings plus posted signs on the roadway itself.
D. Only where a No U-Turn sign is posted
The manual pairs the sign with three other prohibited locations (a curve, a hill, and the highway) and all four carry the same ban. This answer treats the posted No U-Turn sign as the only cue Florida bans the maneuver on, since sign-recognition is drilled far more often than the manual's three other prohibited locations.
