When preparing to make a 3 point turnaround, you should:

• A. Pull to the right and continue driving.
• B. Pull to the right and stop.
• C. Pull to the left and stop.
• D. Turn around in the middle of the street.

Answer: (B)

Getting ready to perform a three-point turn means positioning yourself for a safe, controlled maneuver. You should pull to the right edge of the road and come to a complete stop. This places you out of the through lane so you can check for oncoming traffic, pedestrians, and other hazards with a clear view before starting the turn. Stopping gives you the space and time to judge when it’s safe to proceed. Pulling to the right and continuing to drive would leave you in the travel lane with insufficient room to complete the turn safely. Pulling to the left from that position would direct you into oncoming traffic and is not the correct alignment for this maneuver. Turning in the middle of the street blocks traffic and is unsafe and inappropriate. The proper approach is to pull to the right and stop, then wait for a safe gap to complete the turn.
