It is illegal to turn around near a curve or hill when the driver cannot:

  1. Make the turn within 30 seconds

  2. Drive on the shoulder of the road

  3. See at least 500 feet in each direction

  4. Use hazard lights

The correct answer is: See at least 500 feet in each direction

When making a U-turn or turning around near a curve or hill, it is crucial for the driver to have clear visibility in both directions to ensure there are no approaching vehicles. Being able to see at least 500 feet in each direction allows the driver enough time to assess the traffic situation and make a safe turn. Not having sufficient visibility can lead to accidents and endanger both the driver and other road users. Options A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not directly relate to the primary safety concern when turning around near a curve or hill.
