When is it illegal to make a U-turn?

You must follow signs that limit how you move. A posted No U-turn sign makes turning around illegal at that spot. Signs have legal authority and tell you what you may not do, so you may not complete a U-turn where the sign prohibits it. Other factors, like directions from a police officer directing traffic, can override normal rules in the moment, but the explicit sign is the clear rule that makes the action illegal there.
