Are U-turns legal in Illinois?

I’m driving from St. Louis to Chicago to go to a Cardinals-Cubs game. Although it’s a short drive, I’ve never been to Illinois before and I don’t want to get a ticket. Are U-turns legal or illegal in Illinois?

A Cardinals-Cubs game at Wrigley Field is something to behold and a memory you’ll cherish forever. Fortunately, the laws in
Missouri
are similar to
Illinois
, meaning that U-turns are legal in Illinois. Just make sure that you:
  • Only make U-turns from the left-most lane
  • Make sure that you yield to oncoming traffic
  • Don’t make a U-turn when prohibited by a sign
  • In
    Chicago
    , make sure to double- or even triple-check before you make a U-turn, as traffic is nothing short of nightmarish
