U-turn?

by: thelittleone on

I got ticked for disobey u-turn sign, but I drove into the parking lot before making the u-turn and then stop at the 'stop' sign before continuing. Does that still consider an illegal u-turn?

Well unless the road you turned on to also had a No U-turn sign that I couldn't see... you didn't disobey the U-turn sign. The "NO U-TURN" only applies on the highway it's posted on, not to other roads in the vicinity.

Funny how I can see the cop in the video.


I agree with RI those markings are not valid with HTA


But to do that in front of a cop is not a good idea.

Thanks for the advice. I just want to give everyone an update. So I went to court and show the prosecutor this video and he just quietly said that he is going to withdraw his case and I am free to go. I must said that the dash cam just save me $110. No way I would win this case without evidence.
