Well, Franklin, Tennessee recently changed a city ordinance from categorically banning u-turns to allowing them if they can be done safely, without endangering other traffic, and if there isn't a sign at that particular point forbidding u-turns. Prior to the law change, I think it was something that drivers were expected to know. Since I don't visit Franklin very often, however, I can't say for sure. <http://m.wkrn.com/default.aspx?pid=2705&wnfeedurl=http%3a%2f%2fwww.wkrn.com%2fstory%2f17964837%2frevised-ordinance-allows-safe-u-turns-in-franklin%3fclienttype%3drssstory> -- John F.
