Since U turn segments in Jefferson Parish (at least) are signed as such, and since Jefferson Parish comprises a large portion of the metropolitan area, it's best to keep the naming of U turn segments consistent.

The geometry of the segment should be set such that the instruction onto the U turn will be "turn left". For more heavily curved U turn segments, zoom in and insert a geometry node near the first junction node to create roughly a 90° angle with the road as shown in [[Junction Style Guide#Geometry|this section of the Junction Style Guide]].

Median U turn segments in Metairie

Median U turn segments

This section has been updated as of February 2017.

Dedicated median U turn segments in the New Orleans metropolitan area (at least) shall be unnamed.

A turn instruction override should be used such that a "U turn" instruction is given when entering the U turn segment.

For curved segments, the geometry of the segment should be set such that no instruction is given when leaving the U turn onto the road. For straight segments, a turn instruction override may be used as well, set to "None".
