Are U-turns legal in New Mexico?

One of my bucket-list items is to visit White Sands National Park in New Mexico. To save money, I’m going to drive there, but I’m not familiar with New Mexico driving laws. Can I legally make a U-turn in New Mexico?

Driving in any state for the first time can feel nerve-racking, but U-turns are legal in
New Mexico
, so it’s one less thing to worry about.
If you need to make a U-turn in New Mexico on your trip, follow these safety steps:
  • Yield to all oncoming traffic, including cyclists and pedestrians
  • Only make a U-turn from the left-most lane on a multi-lane road
  • Don’t make a U-turn if a sign prohibits it
White Sands is a remote destination, so get some peace of mind by adding
towing and labor coverage
to your car insurance policy. Find out what car insurance companies offer this type of coverage and then use
