38 Giving way when making a U-turn

(1) A driver making a U-turn must give way to all vehicles and pedestrians.

For this rule, give way means the driver must slow down and, if necessary, stop to avoid a collision—see the definition in the dictionary.

(2) Despite subrule (1), a driver making a U-turn does not have to give way to a driver entering the road from a road related area or adjacent land.

1 Adjacent land is defined in the dictionary and road related area is defined in rule 13.

2 For the case of a driver entering a road from a road related area or adjacent land, see rule 74.
