Sad to read that
I hate that entry exit to Walmart, should have traffic lights there. It is hard to exit and head back to Murfreesboro with the speeds the traffic travel on that road

Is it illegal to make a U-turn????

NavigatorWife Thanks this.

You NEVER ever want to make a u turn legal or not. Usually most companies have a no u turn policy.
NavigatorWife and Chucktshoes Thank this. -
Total lack of common sense on the drivers part to pull a uturn like that. Spend the extra couple of minutes to find a safe turn around somewhere. Bet the driver was in the gotta hurry hurry hurry mode. That's when the accidents happen. When was the last time someone had some sort of accident when they we're taking things slow n smooth?

NavigatorWife, Prime-Mate and Highway101 Thank this. -
That's called a run under accident. They are VERY preventable! Most companies will fire you on the spot for a run under.
NavigatorWife and darthanubis Thank this. -
"In some areas, the maneuver is illegal, while in others, it is treated as a more ordinary turn, merely extended. In still other areas, lanes are occasionally marked "U-turn permitted" or even "U-turn only.""
(Snip)
U-turns are often prohibited for various reasons. Sometimes a sign indicates the legality of U-turns. However, traffic regulations in many jurisdictions specifically prohibit certain types of U-turns. Laws vary by jurisdiction as to when a U-turn may or may not be legal.
The 'specifically prohibited', generally means illegal.

I already knew the answer. The semi driver was not cited for making a legal U-turn.... Its 500 yards, no obstructions on rural highway......
Chucktshoes Thanks this.
