Turning around, U-turns and three-point turns

MTO Driver’s Handbook: Safe and Responsible Driving, Turning around; U-turn; Three-point turn

You may need to turn around when driving if you miss a turn or go too far along a road. The simplest and safest way is to drive around the block. When that is not possible, a U-turn or a three-point turn may be necessary.

Before you make a U-turn, check to make sure there is no sign saying not to. To make a U-turn safely, you must be able to see well in both directions. It is illegal to make a U-turn on a curve in the road, on or near a railway crossing or hilltop, or near a bridge or tunnel that blocks your view. Never make a U-turn unless you can see at least 150 metres in both directions.
