Explanation
U-turns are not legal everywhere and should only be made where permitted and safe. If you cannot safely complete a U-turn, continue to the next street or designated turn-around area. In California, you may legally make a U-turn:
• Across a double yellow line.
• In residential districts if no vehicles are approaching within 200 feet.
• At an intersection on a green light or green arrow, unless a sign prohibits it.
• On a divided highway, if an opening is provided in the center divider.
Always check for signs prohibiting U-turns before proceeding.
