Was it a legal U-Turn or illegal U-Turn?
-
Good question.
-
There’s no sign posted, at least not in view of whatever camera took this.
It’s still in a spot tighter than I personally would’ve liked for pulling off a u-turn.

I’m going to Monday morning quarterback here and blame the four wheeler. The truck was completing a legal U turn which would probably take 10 seconds or more giving the car plenty of time to slow down. I don’t see any skid marks from the car and he was in the left lane, probably speeding and not paying attention.
Trucker61016 and cuzzin it Thank this. -
But, but…
ALL u-turns in trucks are illegal! The TTR self-appointed u-turn police told me so! It’s just those of us who can pull them off safely and do so every day are too stupid to know that.
Anyhow, this looks like where he did it.
If it were me though I think I’d have to go a little further east and do it here, just for my own peace of mind at least.
With a longer break in the median and a turnoff to the left, you’d have a lot more room here.

Wasn’t able to swing it around in one shot and it was dark at that time so 4 wheeler wouldn’t have seen it until it was too late.
Trucker61016 and hope not dumb twucker Thank this. -
You might know. What’s the speed limit there?
65? -
I’ll try figuring it out later..at shipper now almost done loading.
Was a woman truck driver and FSP said she was blocking the road..probably got jammed up in is my guess.
speed limit varies though there 35-45 but could possibly be 55..don’t think it’s much more than that but I’ll check it out a little later.
Been through there countless times.
Better article on the accident

Ain’t got no time to look but it seems this happened a few years ago?
Or Publix just doesn’t learn?
Lol, I’m confused now
