U-Turn

A U-turn is when you turn your vehicle around to go back in the direction you came. To make a U-turn, signal and use the left turn lane or far-left lane. You may make a U-turn:

• Across a double yellow line.
• In a residential district if no vehicles are approaching you within 200 feet.
• At an intersection on a green traffic light or green arrow, unless a NO U-TURN sign is posted.
• On a divided highway if a center divider opening is provided.

Never make a U-turn:

• Where a NO U-TURN sign is posted.
• At or on a railroad crossing.
• On a divided highway by crossing a dividing section, curb, strip of land, or two sets of double yellow lines.
• When you cannot see clearly for 200 feet in each direction.
• On a one-way street.
• In front of a fire station. Never use a fire station driveway to turn around.
• In business districts (the part of a city or town where most offices and businesses are).
  • Except at an intersection, or on a divided highway where an opening has been provided.
