My friend says this means you could do a u-turn at a four-way stop or in front of your house. I feel that that would be considered dangerous. I once asked a cop if you can be going east and make a half u-turn to angle park in a west-bound direction. He said you can make that turn legally but if you're seen doing that and then when you exist the angle park to go west bound, you've completed a u-turn and can then be ticketed. Any cops on here or anyone who would know if u-turns are legal or not?
The Traffic Safety Act is the one you want to consult.

You cannot do u-turns at intersections controlled by lights, where prohibited by a sign or between intersections.

So yes, you can do u-turns at a 4 way stop.
