A diagram of a Texas U-turn, also known as a Texas turnaround (this one with the local road over the limited-access highway) A Texas U-turn, or Texas turnaround, boomerang, or loop around, [citation needed] is a lane allowing cars traveling on one side of a one-way frontage road to U-turn onto the opposite frontage road (typically crossing over or under a freeway or expressway).
The following junction types typically permit U-turns but are not designed specifically for that purpose. Normal at-grade intersections on divided highways often allow traffic traveling on the divided highway to perform a U-turn, often when there is a green light for traffic turning onto the side road, crossing the opposing lanes (left turns in countries where traffic drives on the right ...
A three-way intersection is a junction between three road segments (arms): a T junction when two arms form one road, or a Y junction, the latter also known as a fork if approached from the stem of the Y. Fork in the road Y-junction. A four-way intersection, or crossroads, usually involves a crossing over of two streets or roads.
The anti-gay signs first put up in the 1990s read 'No U-turn' to discourage men from cruising in the Silver Lake neighborhood. Now locals celebrate it's removal.

At a superstreet, crossroad traffic intersecting with a main thoroughfare is restricted from any direct crossing or left turns. Traffic may only turn right, merging onto the main road, which then provides U-turn lane access and allows for left (or right) turns onto the intersecting crossroad. The opposite applies for countries that drive on the ...
Junction station usually refers to a railway station situated either on or close to a rail junction, where lines to two or more destinations diverge. Many junction stations have multiple platform faces to enable trains for multiple destinations to stand at the station at the same time, but this is not necessary.
