22102. No person in a business district shall make a U-turn, except at an intersection, or on a divided highway where an opening has been provided in accordance with Section 21651.
Then in a residential area, the U-turn is OK if no traffic is coming:
U-Turn in Residence District
22103. No person in a residence district shall make a U-turn when any other vehicle is approaching from either direction within 200 feet, except at an intersection when the approaching vehicle is controlled by an official traffic control device.
Any law-enforcement folks here care to comment?
