(A) Except as hereinafter provided, no person shall operate a vehicle so as to turn the vehicle and proceed in the opposite direction on any street or highway.
(B) Persons excepted are those who can safely execute that turn if at an intersection, but it is unlawful for the driver of a vehicle to make such a turn at any intersection:
(1) Where traffic-control signals are installed;
(2) Where a police officer is directing traffic except at the latter’s direction; or
(3) Where an official no U-turn sign has been placed and is maintained.
(C) A U-turn may be made only when it can be made in safety and without interfering with other traffic. No person shall make a U-turn except in the following manner:
(1) By approaching the intersection as closely as practical to the right curb or edge of the roadway, the driver giving and continuing to give a signal for a left turn until the turn is completed, proceeding to make the turn across the intersection;
(2) In one continuous movement without stopping or backing the vehicle;
(3) By yielding the right-of-way at all times to all vehicles until such turn is completed; and
(4) Without constituting a hazard to or interfering with any other vehicle.
