Explanation
Making a U-turn near a curve when the driver cannot see at least 500 feet in each direction is illegal and unsafe. When drivers cannot see far enough in both directions due to a curve or the crest of a hill, it increases the risk of a collision with vehicles approaching from either side. Limited visibility hinders the driver's ability to accurately judge the speed and distance of oncoming vehicles, making it unsafe to execute a U-turn in such conditions.
