Illegal U-Turn charges in Alabama
An illegal U-turn is charged for turning where prohibited by signage, at certain intersections, or where visibility is limited. Many drivers are cited without realizing a U-turn was restricted there. In Alabama, a conviction adds demerit points toward the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency (ALEA) suspension threshold of 12–14 points in 2 years, and the conviction follows you to your insurer.

Attorneys examine whether prohibiting signs were present and visible, the exact location of the turn, and whether the restriction legally applied.
