Are U-turns legal in Alaska?

I’m checking an item off my bucket list by visiting Alaska in a few months. I’m going to rent a car and drive around the Kenai peninsula, so I want to make sure I know all the driving laws. Are U-turns legal or illegal in Alaska?

Checking an item off your bucket list is super exciting. The good news is that driving laws in Alaska are similar to other states in many ways, including U-turns. In
Alaska
, U-turns are legal, provided you:
  • Only make the U-turn out of the far left-most lane on multi-lane thoroughfares
  • Yield to oncoming traffic
  • Don’t see any signs prohibiting a U-turn
If you’re renting a car on your trip to Alaska, you’re probably also considering car insurance. But did you know that you can skip the expensive rental car insurance and use your own in most cases? All you need to do is find an affordable car insurance policy through the
