In Australia (well, NSW and the ACT at least) you're not allowed to U-turn at a traffic light unless a sign specifically allows it. You can, however, make U-turns (or U-eys, as we call 'em :) outside of traffic light areas. A lot of people get around this by making a right-turn, then doing a U-turn in the street they turned into :)
Making a metaphor out of it for Singaporean culture is drawing quite a long, generalising bow, IMO.
- andrewvc 16y agoWhere I live, Los Angeles, U turns are only allowed in intersections. I'd gladly trade you.
- Andys 16y agoOur (Sydney) streets are just not wide enough to do U-turns in one go. So people were doing them at traffic lights and causing problems as they misjudged then had to do a 3 point turn. I guess its preferable to let these 3 point turns happen in side streets and backstreets.
