You are not allowed to cross the yellow line and you would have to cross the yellow line - single or double - to do a U turn, which means that you cannot do a U turn - or any other sort of turn. Surely that makes sense?:groan:

While I agree that it is a "no passing line" it does not always mean no passing. For example, when you have two lanes, the right lane obviously for passing, and a no passing line to the left of the centre line which means that you are allowed to pass as long as you do not cross that no passing line. I have seen that in quite a few places, the most common where the road goes uphill.

Making a U-turn
You are normally allowed to make U-turns, as long as the road is clear in both directions and it is safe to do so. Make sure you have enough room to complete the turn and don't create a hazard for oncoming vehicles.

You aren't allowed to make U-turns if a 'No U-turn' sign is displayed.

Making a turn over a no-passing line
You can cross over the solid yellow no-passing line (if it is safe to do so) when making a turn to enter a driveway or side road.

However, bear in mind that no-passing lines are often marked where visibility is limited, so special care is required. It may be safer to turn further along the road, where visibility is better. See Passing for more information about no-passing lines.
