On expressways, stopping (except in emergencies or designated parking areas), making U-turns, and backing up are prohibited.

• A. False
• B. Not always
• C. True
• D. Only during peak hours

Answer: (C)

Expressways are high-speed, limited-access roads where traffic must keep moving to stay safe. Stopping in travel lanes, making U-turns, or backing up disrupts the flow, reduces reaction time for other drivers, and greatly increases crash risk, so these actions are not allowed except in emergencies or when you are in a designated parking or emergency stopping area. If you must stop due to a breakdown, move to the shoulder if safe, activate hazard lights, and seek assistance. U-turns aren’t performed on expressways because there’s no safe space to reverse direction at high speeds, and backing up is dangerous for the same reason. This is why the statement is true.
