How to turn around when the car is driving on the expressway

The first is the choice of location. When a car turns around, it must strictly abide by the road traffic management regulations: "Motor vehicles are not allowed to turn around at railway crossings, crosswalks, detours, narrow roads, bridges, steep slopes, ramps or dangerous sections."

Therefore, we should choose intersections with small traffic flow and safe sections with flat, wide and solid shoulders; According to the road width and traffic conditions, the car can turn around at one time, or it can be combined with reversing. If you don't have these conditions, you can also choose to use the roadside open space to turn around.

Basic operation of U-turn:

Drive around. On a wide road, you should try to turn around with the car with a big detour. This method is rapid, convenient, economical and safe. If there is a traffic controller, send a U-turn signal in advance. After getting the controller's permission and signal, slow down and use the low gear, honk the horn, and turn around slowly.

U-turn combined with car and reversing. If the road is narrow and it is impossible to turn around with the car at one time, you can use a combination of forward and backward turning.

When making a U-turn, you should first choose a suitable position, send a left-turn signal, slowly drive the car to one side of the road, turn the steering wheel to your left foot, step on the clutch when the front wheel approaches the roadside or the front edge of the vehicle approaches the obstacle, and lightly step on the brake pedal. When the vehicle has not stopped completely, quickly turn the steering wheel to your right foot, turn the front wheel to the new direction needed for backward, and stop immediately.

When reversing, you should first observe the situation behind the car, then start slowly, turn right and hit the steering wheel with your feet. When the car backs until the rear wheel is close to the roadside or the rear edge of the car is close to the obstacle, immediately step on the clutch pedal, lightly step on the brake pedal to stop, and use this opportunity before stopping to quickly turn the steering wheel to the left.

Turn the front wheels to the new direction required for forward movement. At this time, if you still can't turn around, you can go back or forward and repeat it several times until the turn is completed.

Location selection

When a car turns around, it must strictly abide by the provisions of road traffic control: "Motor vehicles are not allowed to turn around at railway crossings, crosswalks, detours, narrow roads, bridges, steep slopes, ramps or dangerous sections."

Therefore, we should choose intersections with small traffic flow and safe sections with flat, wide and solid shoulders; According to the road width and traffic conditions, the car can turn around once with the car or once with the car. If you don't have these conditions, you can also choose to use the roadside open space to turn around.

Try not to turn around at railway crossings, crosswalks, detours, narrow roads, bridges, tunnels, culverts, steep slopes, ramps or dangerous sections, otherwise it will easily lead to traffic accidents. If you have to turn around in a dangerous area, the rear of the car should face the safer side and the front of the car should face the dangerous side for easy observation; Or someone who can drive can help turn around under the car to ensure safety.
