A riding turn is a section of rope that passes on top of another section of rope, often parallel or at only a slight angle to the section below. Examples of riding turns can be seen in both the constrictor knot and the strangle knot.
In rope work, a riding turn refers to a segment of rope that climbs over another, often maintaining parallelism or a slight gradient compared to the lower part. Observations of this structure are present in both the constrictor knot and the strangle knot.
