Use a three-point turn (K-turn) to reverse direction on a narrow road where U-turns are not possible.
Signal right, check for traffic, turn the wheel sharply right while moving forward to the right edge.
Stop before the curb, shift to reverse, turn wheel sharply left, back slowly to the opposite edge.
Shift to drive, turn wheel right to straighten, and proceed in your new direction.
Is a three-point turn the same as a K-turn?
Yes, a three-point turn is also called a K-turn, Y-turn, or broken U-turn. They all refer to the same maneuver.
Where should I avoid making a three-point turn?
Avoid hills, curves, near intersections, on highways, or anywhere with heavy traffic or poor visibility.
How many points should a three-point turn actually have?
Ideally three movements: forward right, backward left, forward straight. More points may be needed in tight spaces.
