U－TURN

1. 본문

A U-turn is a maneuver made by a vehicle or person that results in a 180-degree rotation, reversing the original direction of travel. The name "U-turn" comes from the maneuver's resemblance to the letter "U".

Here's a breakdown of the term:

• In driving: It refers to a 180° turn made by a vehicle, causing it to go in the opposite direction.
• Walking/other contexts: While typically used for vehicles, it can refer to any 180-degree turn.
• Figuratively: It can also signify a complete reversal of plans, ideas, or policies, it is total change of how people think about and plan.

The legality of U-turns for vehicles varies. In some areas, they are prohibited, in others they are treated as a normal turn, and certain lanes may be specifically designated for U-turns.
