Traffic Question: Making U-Turns?

-I was taught in driving school that U-turns are LEGAL except under certain circumstances;

such as:

-there's a sign prohibiting u-turns

-freeway

-intersection





ok....I was driving on a regular main road.....I made a U-turn, and got a ticket.



I called the police department and they told me it is illegal to make a U-turn on that road.





So there are certain roads where it is illegal to make a u-turn, and I'm supposed to magically know which roads they are???

or is it certain cities that ban U-turns anywhere in town?







The cop who ticketed me said it wasn't so much WHERE I made the U-turn.....but; U-turns are always illegal.





Are there certain cities that just ban U-turns?





This is in Lyndhurst, Ohio.Looks like they prohibit U-turns in business districts, in addition to the state's prohibited areas (hills, curves, etc).



432.11 "U" TURNS RESTRICTED.

...

(d) Except as provided in division (b) of this section, no vehicle shall be turned so as to proceed in the opposite direction within an intersection, or upon any street in a business district, or upon a freeway, expressway or controlled-access highway, or where authorized signs are erected to prohibit such movement, or at any other location unless such movement can be made with reasonable safety to other users of the public way and without interfering with the safe operation of any traffic that may be affected by such movement.what was the speed limit on the road?

in some places, if the speed limit is high, you aren't allowed to make a U-turn
