Explanation
Making a U-turn on or near any curve or hill is prohibited due to the significant risk it poses to both the driver making the turn and other road users. When a vehicle attempts a U-turn in these areas, it is often difficult for drivers approaching from either direction to see the turning vehicle in time to react appropriately, due to limited visibility caused by the curve or hill.
