No signal, nothing. Just "oh I think I'll go westbound back toward the city now, so let's just try to kill ourselves and possibly others, by driving in front of the rest of the traffic going highway speed, across 2 lanes of traffic - la la la la la" - 2 lanes of traffic trying to do a brake stand at highway speed, so much fun. Guy didn't even look at the east bound traffic he'd just given heart attacks to, as he meandered across the 2 lanes of traffic.
Jeebus, pull into the Kinniburgh turn out, turn around safely in someone's driveway entrance, then cross the east bound lanes of traffic when it's safe to do so, to return west bound. Everyone that had to jam on the brakes just kind of looked at each other and shook their heads and away we all went again.

Better yet, just turn at the highway 9 overpass and you don't have to worry about crossing the Trans Canada. That would infuriate me as well, it's not like their isn't any options to safely turn around on that section of highway!
