36 | Driver’s Manual Approach the turn from the right half of the  roadway closest to the center. Try to use the left  side of the intersection to help make sure that you  do not interfere with traffic headed toward you  that wants to turn left. Keep to the right of the cen- terline of the road you enter, but as close as pos- sible to the center line. Be alert for traffic heading  toward you from the left and from the lane you are  about to go across. Motorcycles headed toward  you are hard to see and it is difficult to judge their  speed and distance away. Drivers often fail to see  a motorcycle headed toward them and hit it while  they turn across a traffic lane. Approach the turn from the right half of the  roadway closest to the center. Enter the left lane,  to the right of the center line. When traffic permits,  you can move out of the left lane.  A “U-turn” is any turn you make so you can  proceed in the opposite direction. Do not try a U-turn on a highway unless  absolutely necessary. If you must turn around,  use a parking lot, driveway or other area, and, if  possible, enter the roadway as you move forward,  not backing up. You can make a U-turn only from the left part of  the lane nearest to the centerline of the roadway,  never from the right lane. Unless signs tell you  otherwise, you can make a U-turn when you get  permission to proceed by a green arrow left turn  traffic signal, provided it is allowed and you yield  to other traffic. Approach the turn from the right half of the road- way closest to the center. Make the turn before  you reach the center of the intersection and turn  into the left lane of the road you enter.  You cannot make a U-turn near the top of a hill,  a curve or any other location where other drivers  cannot see your vehicle from 500 feet (150 m)  away in either direction. U-turns are also illegal in  business districts of New York City and where NO  U-TURN signs are provided. You can never make  a U-turn on a limited access expressway, even if  paths connect your side of the expressway with  the other side. In addition, it is prohibited for a  vehicle to make a U-turn in a school zone. Unless prohibited, a three-point turn can be  used to turn around on a narrow, two-way street.  You may be required to make a three-point turn  on your road test.
