Are U-turns legal in Massachusetts?

I’m going to Massachusetts to go to a Red Sox game this summer but I want to take a few day trips outside the city. I plan on renting a car, so I just want to make sure I know the local driving laws. Can I make a U-turn in Massachusetts?

If you can spare the extra cash, nothing is quite like seeing the Red Sox play when you’re seated atop the Green Monster. But few places have the quaintness of coastal
Massachusetts
towns. So if you want to drive around, note that U-turns are legal in Massachusetts.
Before you execute a U-turn, make sure to follow these safety tips:
  • Always yield to oncoming traffic and double-check to ensure there are no pedestrians or cyclists
  • Don’t make a U-turn if a sign says that it’s prohibited
  • Take extra care when you make U-turns in
    Boston
    , as traffic is a bit hectic
  • Only make U-turns if you’re in the left-most lane
If you want to check the Green Monster off your bucket list, it’s not going to be cheap. But you can easily save some money by comparing car insurance rates with the
