Explanation
When making a three-point turn, it's essential to yield to oncoming traffic from both directions before initiating the turn. This ensures the safety of all road users and prevents potential accidents. By yielding to oncoming traffic, drivers can avoid obstructing the flow of traffic and reduce the risk of collisions. Therefore, waiting for a safe gap in oncoming traffic allows drivers to execute the three-point turn maneuver safely and effectively.
