Questions Learners Have About U-Turns & Maneuvers

Find answers to the most common queries learners have when practising U-Turns & Maneuvers, including how questions match the official theory exam in Iceland, how scoring works, and how this practice improves exam readiness.

Where are U-turns generally prohibited in Iceland?

U-turns are typically prohibited in areas where visibility is limited, such as near blind hills, in tunnels, and at intersections where signs explicitly forbid them (e.g., traffic sign 332 'U-beygja bönnuð'). They are also prohibited where they would endanger or unduly obstruct other traffic.

What is the key safety rule for performing a U-turn in Iceland?

The most important safety rule is that a U-turn must only be performed if it can be completed in a single movement without hindering other traffic. If you cannot complete it safely and smoothly, you should find an alternative method or location to turn around.

How do I safely execute a three-point turn?

A three-point turn (or K-turn) involves several steps: signal right and pull over to the curb, signal left and turn sharply left while checking traffic, stop before hitting the opposite curb, shift to reverse and turn the steering wheel sharply right, reverse while checking traffic, stop, shift to drive and proceed. Always ensure the path is clear before each movement.

Can I use a side road to turn around instead of a U-turn?

Yes, using a side road or driveway to turn around is often a safer and more legal alternative to a U-turn, especially in areas where U-turns are prohibited or dangerous. Always signal clearly and ensure your maneuver does not impede or endanger other road users.

Are there specific road signs related to U-turn prohibitions in Iceland?

Yes, the Icelandic traffic sign 332, 'U-beygja bönnuð', explicitly indicates that making a U-turn is prohibited at an intersection or similar conditions.
