You may not make a U-turn on a curve or hill unless you can see how far in all directions?
-
A.
200 feet
-
B.
300 feet
-
C.
500 feet Correct
-
D.
1,000 feet
The answer is "500 feet"
On a curve or hill, a U-turn is legal only when you can see at least 500 feet in all directions. A driver reaching for a smaller number is usually pulling the 200-foot rural signal distance or the 300-foot dim-lights figure across from other rules in the manual.
The traps in the wrong answers
A. 200 feet
The U-turn visibility rule sets 500 feet, well above 200. This answer pulls the 200-foot rural signal distance into the U-turn rule.
B. 300 feet
The rule sets 500 feet in all directions, not 300. This answer borrows the 300-foot dim-lights distance from the equipment chapter.
D. 1,000 feet
The visibility rule for U-turns stops at 500 feet. This answer grabs the 1,000-foot object-visibility figure from the headlight rule and stretches it here.
