Correct answer
In business districts of New York City, school zones, and on expressways
Why this is correct
New York bans U-turns in specific locations: in business districts of New York City, in any school zone, on any limited-access expressway, and where NO U-TURN signs are posted. A U-turn is also illegal near the crest of a hill or any curve where you cannot be seen from 500 feet away in both directions.
