UTAH U-TURNS

One of the unique things I notice about driving in Utah cities is numerous drivers making U-turns. 

(Really, so far as I can tell, most of Utah is all one big city with bridge, underpass, and highway signs occasionally telling you when you start or end a new place.)

What?!? U-turns? Is that legal? Of course it is. 

I suppose that I have lived a sheltered life, or somewhere it was not legal, because I never thought of it as a routine option. Here it IS routine. 

I see many such turns everywhere we drive.

There are safety laws, and places where U-turns are prohibited.

None the less, every time I see a U-turn (or sign prohibiting one), I wonder if I need to use that option. Am I going the correct way? Do I need to change directions?

Hmmm – there is some food for deeper thought.

Sometimes I definitely need to make a different choice - to go a different way than I am traveling. 

I suppose laws of the land, and laws of God may assist me in this endeavor – help me make course corrections to arrive where I really want to be.

Where DO I want to be? 

At peace, with loved ones living now and with those I miss who now live in a different sphere of existence.

U-turns in Utah remind me often to evaluate and remember where I want to be … and figure out how to get there!
