State Laws

The Georgia Code

Left Turns across Gores, Lined Dividers, Medians

O.C.G.A. § 40-6-50. Driving on divided highway, controlled-access roadways, and emergency lanes

  • No vehicle shall be driven over, across, or within any dividing space, barrier, gore, paved shoulder, or section separating the roadways of a divided highway; except that a vehicle may be driven through an opening in such physical barrier or dividing space or at an established crossover or intersection unless specifically prohibited by an official sign, signal, or control device.


This means in GA there is illegal to cross a lined median unless it has an "opening" which means it stops or is broken lined in a uniform manner.

U-Turns

O.C.G.A. § 40-6-121 : U-turns

No vehicle shall be turned so as to proceed in the opposite direction

1 Upon any curve;
2 Upon the approach to or near the crest of a grade where such vehicle cannot be seen by the driver of another vehicle approaching from either direction;
3 Where such turn cannot be made in safety and without interfering with other traffic; or
4 Where a prohibition is posted.
Self Explanatory. Don't allow a U-Turn in GA in a situation that violates this law.
