Are U-turns legal in Iowa?

My son has a baseball tournament in Iowa this summer. He’s pretty jazzed about it and so am I—but I don’t want to sully the trip by getting a traffic ticket. Are U-turns legal or illegal in Iowa?

Summer baseball tournaments are exciting as ever for the entire family—especially ones that you get to play out of town. If you’re traveling to
Iowa
, note that U-turns are legal if you follow these steps:
  • Yield to oncoming traffic—take special care to look out for farm equipment, especially in rural areas
  • Don’t make a U-turn where prohibited by signage
  • Only make U-turns from the left-most lane of a multi-lane thoroughfare
To protect your family on a road trip, you may want to consider
towing and labor coverage
for your journey. It functions just like roadside assistance and can give you some peace of mind in unfamiliar settings. Just make sure to shop around with the
