That is a good point. And you could always hail the taxi and cross the
road yourself, then he can run three sides of a block or use an appropriate
sideroad to turn around. Far more sensible.

Before anyone says "but it might be dangerous to cross the road", it's
unlikely to be safe to do a U turn on a road where it isn't safe to cross
as a pedestrian.



Do you have any statistics for the frequency of accidents caused by
taxis making U-turns? Or is it, as I strongly suspect, a problem that
exists only in theory?
