Are U-Turns Legal???
Someone asked recently about making U-Turns so I thought I’d tackle that one. U-turns are legal anytime they can be made in safety unless there is a sign prohibiting them. All individual states and municipalities have the power to adopt statutes and ordinances forbidding U-Turns in specific places so you must be certain there is no sign prohibiting such action. Hillcrests and blind curves would be examples of places U-Turns would not be safe or legal where signs are not posted. You should always signal your intention to turn before making a U-Turn. Be safe out there……
