Hi Chris,
There is a no right turn sign. U turn is a kind of right turn, so it is
legally prohibited.
Err I think you are mistaken?
A right turn may not be permitted as to do so would enter a one way
street the wrong way, while a U turn could be permitted at the same
location as that street is two way.

Comment from Australia. U turns at traffic lights are not permitted here
unless there is a sign saying other wise. There are very few of such signs.
Thanks,
Michael

Hi,
I am looking at a junction in London where I am not clear whether a u-turn
is allowed or not. The location the junction between Edgeware Road and Praed
Street and Chapel Street traveling from NW din a SE direction.
There is straight ahead arrow on the right lane and there is no right turn
sign at the junction. Also there is no no u-turn sign there and OSM does not
have a No U Turn Relation on the approach way so implying u-turns are allowed
here.
The question I have is can you make a u-turn on Edgeware Road to come back
on Edgeware road in a NW direction: from 51.5193824, -0.1691434 to 51.5193073,
-0.1692058 and hence OSM is correct?
And a broader question is what signs, incl. road markings, have to be in
place for a u-turn to be prohibited. I have seen a number of conversations on
traffic forums but have not seen a conclusive answer and I understand there are
possible variables depending on the city, region, etc.
Thank you in advance for your expertise.
Regards
Chris
