Where is it legal for a driver to make a U-Turn in the 5 boroughs of New York City?

From the NYS Driver’s Manual Page 50:
You may not make a U-turn near
the crest of a hill, a curve or any other
place where other drivers cannot see your vehicle from 500 feet (150 m) away in
either direction. U-turns are also illegal in business districts of New York City and
where NO U-TURN signs are posted. You may never make a U-turn on a limited
access expressway, even if paths connect your side of the expressway with the
other side.

fedup up posted from drivers manual and it doesnt say that.
speaking of being fedup, I am very, with those who make a u-turn regardless of how many people they inconvenience or endanger.
they think it their right, like making a left turn. not so.
March 15, 2012 10:27 pm at 10:27 pm #860323hershiMemberDo cops typically ticket if they witness a U-Turn on a non-major street?
March 15, 2012 10:30 pm at 10:30 pm #860324ZeesKiteParticipant‘Derech’ should actually be the best equipped to answer the question.
