This section is included in your selections.

(1) The driver of a vehicle intending to turn to the left or to complete a U-turn upon a highway, or to turn left into public or private property, or an alley, shall yield the right-of-way to all vehicles approaching from the opposite direction which are close enough to constitute a hazard at any time during the turning movement, and shall continue to yield the right-of-way to the approaching vehicles until the left turn or U-turn can be made with reasonable safety.

(2) A driver having yielded as prescribed in subsection (1) of this section, and having given a signal when and as required by this code, may turn left or complete a U-turn, and the drivers of vehicles approaching the intersection or the entrance to the property or alley from the opposite direction shall yield the right-of-way to the turning vehicle.

Commentary: This provision is generally based on California Vehicle Code Section 21801. If there is any conflict between this provision and the California Vehicle Code, this code shall supersede the California Vehicle Code.
