Are U-turns legal in Louisiana?

I’ve always wanted to visit New Orleans but I’ve never had the chance until now. I’ve heard that driving in Louisiana is a bit tough, so I want to make sure I know the laws. Are U-turns illegal or legal in Louisiana?

New Orleans
is an amazing city with tons of history, great food, and friendly people. So if you want to take a road trip to
Louisiana
, get excited! From a driving standpoint, U-turns are legal in Louisiana, but you must remember to:
  • Yield to oncoming traffic
  • Don’t make a U-turn if it’s prohibited to do so by a No U-turn sign
  • Only make a U-turn from the left-most lane
If you’re taking a road trip to Louisiana, you may get a little more peace of mind with
