U-Turns

Ben Affleck cautioned for illegal U-Turn

The British Columbia Driving Manual states the following:
"If you find you are going in the wrong direction, you may be tempted to make a U-turn. U-turns are often risky. They are illegal:

• If they interfere with other traffic.
  
• On a curve.
  
• On or near the crest of a hill, where you cannot be seen by other traffic within 150 metres.
  
• Where a sign prohibits U-turns.
  
• At an intersection where there is a traffic light.
  
• In a business district, except at an intersection where there is no traffic light.
  
• Where a municipal by-law prohibits making a U-turn.
  

When you are deciding whether to make a U-turn, consider some alternatives, such as driving around the block or continuing on to a side road where you can turn more safely."

Of course, the last time I was in BC, I made more than my fair share of U-Turns (and now I think most of them were illegal).

The other thing to watch out for is yielding to buses...
