42 Starting a U-turn at an intersection
A driver making a U-turn at an intersection must start the U-turn—
(a) if the road where the driver is turning has a dividing line or median strip—from the marked lane nearest, or as near as practicable, to the dividing line or median strip; or
(b) in any other case—from the left of the centre of the road.
Centre of the road, dividing line, intersection, marked lane and median strip are defined in the dictionary.
