Basically the title but when we do a “U” turn we actually make a small n not a U.

      I believe OPs point has to do with the direction. From a top-down perspective driving forwards would look like driving upwards, then turning and driving downwards, like an n. U flipped/rotated 180 degrees.

        Ahh that makes more sense. I was thinking about the nub of the “n” being included as part of the motion

          Yeah the nub invalidates the n. It’s the wrong shape.

      Vehicles vary greatly in turn radius, and it’s not just size. I’ve had big vehicles that could do a U turn just about anywhere, but that damn Saturn…how could a small sedan be so bad at tight turns?
