Are U-turns legal in Oregon?

I’ve read that Oregon is an anomaly regarding legal and illegal U-turns—or at least compared to other states. Can I legally make a U-turn in Oregon?

Eric Schad · Updated on Apr 8, 2022

Reviewed by Shannon Martin, Licensed Insurance Agent.

You’re right about

. U-turns are not legal in Oregon in many cases, which is in stark contrast to the 49 other states in the Union.

While U-turns aren’t outlawed altogether, you cannot make a U-turn in town or city unless:

You explicitly see a U-turn sign that allows it

You can see traffic coming from the other way up to 500 feet

You can see traffic coming from the other direction up to 1,000 feet (outside city limits)

While Oregon might have the most stringent U-turn laws in the U.S., it shouldn’t deter you from driving there. Just make sure you have an affordable car insurance policy by shopping around with the

app.
