U-Turn Rules Video: How to Do a U-Turn & When It’s Illegal

Steps to Make a U-Turn with Confidence

1. Check for U-turn signs before making a U-turn! Some intersections prohibit U-turns, so be sure it's allowed.
2. Check whether the road is wide enough for a U-turn! If not, consider a 3-point turn instead.
3. Move into the leftmost lane.
4. Slow down and use your left turn signal to let others know your intention. This keeps traffic flowing safely!
5. Wait for a clear gap in oncoming traffic before turning. Rushing a U-turn can be dangerous!
6. Turn the wheel steadily, follow through smoothly, yield to pedestrians, and aim for the correct lane—don’t oversteer or cut corners!
