What is a "turnaround"?

A turnaround is an area designed for vehicles to change direction. It provides enough space for drivers to safely reverse or make a U-turn, especially in places where there is limited room to maneuver. Turnarounds are often found in residential areas, parking lots, or dead-end streets, where they allow vehicles to turn without having to back up for long distances. These areas are typically clearly marked to help drivers identify where they can safely turn around.

Examples
The driver used the turnaround to head back the way he came. 
04

a complete or unexpected change in someone's attitude, opinion, or behavior 

05

time need to prepare a vessel or ship for a return trip
