Should this be "The tram doesn't turn around here, but there"? I'm not sure.
It does not turn around, only turns. For example, takes a left. The term "befordul" suggests that it turns into a smaller side street, or that it takes a turn after a long straight ride.
For "turns around", you can use "megfordul".
Then I think the right idiom is probably "turning off", although I'm not positive. I think that "turn in" in English would mainly make sense if there were an inward and outward direction, and one were contrasting between the two.
Yes. I think simply just "turn" would be the best. On a second thought, this "befordulni" term can be used in any normal turning situation.
"A következő lámpánál befordulunk balra." - "At the next (traffic) light we turn left."
Just that "completeness" sense is added by "be-", nothing more.
