    As long as no signs are posted one can make a u-turn in a residential neighborhood. In a business district it is illegal even without a sign.

    From the NYS Driver’s Manual Page 50:

    You may not make a U-turn near

    the crest of a hill, a curve or any other

    place where other drivers cannot see your vehicle from 500 feet (150 m) away in

    either direction. U-turns are also illegal in business districts of New York City and

    where NO U-TURN signs are posted. You may never make a U-turn on a limited

    access expressway, even if paths connect your side of the expressway with the

    other side.

    You can only make a U-Turn in an intersection. Never in middle of a block or street.

    to derech:

    fedup up posted from drivers manual and it doesnt say that.

    speaking of being fedup, I am very, with those who make a u-turn regardless of how many people they inconvenience or endanger.

    they think it their right, like making a left turn. not so.

    Do cops typically ticket if they witness a U-Turn on a non-major street?

    ‘Derech’ should actually be the best equipped to answer the question.
