U-turn Changes
While traveling on Blue Mound Road today, I saw drivers making U-turns at intersections with stop lights.
Don’t be surprised if you do, too.
In his Journal Sentinel column (January 24 newspaper edition), Jim Stingl reports that it is no longer illegal to make U-turns at controlled intersections in Wisconsin, including those with stop and go lights. (Of course, wait until the light is green and making a U-turn when a sign specifically prohibits it is a no-no)
Stingl thanks the State Legislature for this change and credits Brookfield Mayor Jeff Speaker for coming up with the idea to make it easier for folks to get to businesses on Blue Mound.
That's great. But hopefully, it won't result in more accidents.
