It is illegal to make a U-turn?

  1. In a parking lot

  2. Across a double yellow line

  3. On a highway

  4. At a red light

The correct answer is: Across a double yellow line

Making a U-turn is a violation of traffic laws if it is done across a double yellow line. This is because double yellow lines indicate a no passing zone and making a U-turn in this area can be dangerous and disruptive to traffic flow. Option A is incorrect because making a U-turn in a parking lot is generally allowed unless prohibited by signage or specific laws in that area. Option C is incorrect because making a U-turn on a highway is not always illegal, as it depends on the specific laws and regulations of that highway. Option D is incorrect because making a U-turn at a red light is often permitted with appropriate signage and lane markings, and is not necessarily illegal.
