Performing a three-point turn (shown for right-hand traffic). The three-point turn (sometimes called a Y-turn, K-turn, or broken U-turn) is the standard method of turning a vehicle around to face the opposite direction in a limited space, using forward and reverse gears.
Three-point turn, Y-turn, K-turn, or broken U-turn A method of turning a vehicle around (making a 180° turn) in close quarters, such as in the middle of a road at a point other than an intersection. Three-way junction, 3-way junction, 3-way intersection, Y junction, Y intersection, T junction, or T intersection
The following junction types typically permit U-turns but are not designed specifically for that purpose. Normal at-grade intersections on divided highways often allow traffic traveling on the divided highway to perform a U-turn, often when there is a green light for traffic turning onto the side road, crossing the opposing lanes (left turns in countries where traffic drives on the right ...
A diagram showing the path of a driver performing a U-turn on a normal two-way road (left-hand traffic) Contrail of a plane that took a U-turn. A U-turn in driving refers to performing a 180° rotation to reverse the direction of travel. It is called a "U-turn" because the maneuver looks like the letter U. In some areas, the maneuver is illegal ...
Driving back and forth through a set of traffic cones; Reversing around a corner or into a parking space; Emergency stops or evasive maneuvers; Parallel parking (with a maximum of 2 separate forward movements) Reverse angled parking; Three-point turns (in 3 movements) Uphill starts, downhill curbside parking with gear shifts
A two-trailer vehicle driving backwards. Reversing (also known as backing up) is the process of driving a vehicle in the reverse direction in order to maneuver. Rear view mirrors are somewhat standard equipment for this endeavor. Reversing a vehicle is used as an intermediate step to complete a three point turn, J-turn, parallel park, or ...

Diagram showing the path of a driver performing a U-turn.A vehicle with a smaller turning diameter will be able to perform a sharper U-turn. The turning radius (alternatively, turning diameter or turning circle) of a vehicle defines the minimum dimension (typically the radius or diameter) of available space required for that vehicle to make a semi-circular U-turn without skidding.
