I have taken permission to reintroduce the quote showing what's interesting. And thank you for recalling a subject I once raised. Those Belgian white lines preventing U-turn (without oneway) are jurisdiction-dependent indeed as well said further. I had abandoned the discussion, taking it as the usual "no" the answers that it's not so everywhere. But as said further too, what we map is not the color or form of the lines but their meaning. And what I mostly mentioned before, is that those Belgian lines not only forbid U-turn, but also turning left (in right-hand drive) when coming from a side road. I find this important because it makes a lot of missing, difficult to map turn relations unnecessary. But I suppose it would have, because of jurisdiction-dependency, mapped differently than U-turn. Interesting discussion. Cheers André.
