Are U-turns legal in Idaho?

I’m going to visit a friend in Idaho. Seeing as how I’ve never been there before, I want to make sure I’m following all of the state driving laws. Are U-turns legal or illegal in Idaho?

Idaho
is a beautiful place to visit—especially in the summer when the temperatures are mild and comfortable. You shouldn’t have any problems driving as the laws are similar to other states. U-turns are legal in Idaho if you follow these steps:
  • Yield to oncoming traffic. One strange caveat to this—especially if you’re from the city—is to always check for cattle or wildlife. Many large animals call Idaho home and many ranchers allow cattle to roam free.
  • Don’t make a U-turn where a sign prohibits it.
  • Only make a U-turn from the left-most lane.
