U-turn on double solid yellowline?

[HappyNic]

,, Ok, here's the Question: Is is illegal to make a U-turn on double solid yellowline?

I'm asking this cause I just finished Traffic school and on one of the videos that I was forced to watch it shows making a U-turn on a double solid yellowline llegal:Q. I was like "WTF it's llegal, for over 4 years I though it was illegal":disgust:. I asked the insturtor and he said it's stated on the DMV handbook, But I just ran out so i can't proof it to you. But it's better if you don't do U-turn on double solid yellowline just for safely.

SO is it illegal to bust a U on a double solid yellow line?

as far as i know, its legal to do a u-turn as long as its not marked no u-turns. But dont quote me on that, drivers ed was a long time ago. also, it might vary from state to state...

Does "llegal" mean "legal" or "illegal"?

Doesn't matter as long the cop doesn't catch you, does it?

Here in Arizona, it is legal to make a U-turn anywhere except where it is posted "No U-turn." If you are allowed to turn left across that double yellow line then it is okay to U-turn from there as well unless it is posted otherwise.

Regardless of other laws it is uniformly illegal to cross a double solid yellow line in every state in the union. Double solid means do not cross.

i thought double yellow just mean, do not past. Peoal make left turns over them all the time and i have never seen one person get arrested for it.

In CA it's okay to make a U-turn over any center dividing line as long as it's not two double solid yellow lines (IOW: four solid yellow lines)

Double yellow means do not cross. Don't even try to make a left, let alone U-turn.

Yeah, what he said. It's llegal (sp) to cross the double solid yellow regardless of whether it's to pass or turn.

Don't mistake lack of enforcement of a law as legality of the action. Cops don't enforce it unless you get in an accident, then you get a ticket and the blame for the accident. And it can always be enforced if you get a cop with an attitude.

U-turns are uniformly illegal in most states regardless of the presense on a double-yellow line. I NEVER do a u-turn, unless it's posted as ok by a sign, in a car. In my 18 wheeler the company I work for will fire you for ANY u-turn!

I think this is true. The U-turns are legal. but not 100% sure.
