It's legal to make U-turns in other parts of the country. A U-turn may be done in an intersection or at midblock providing you yield to oncoming traffic and can make the turn without having to back up.

Excessive noise is the main factor.
Also, evening work frequently requires premium pay and may result in lower quality due to worker fatigue and poor lighting. On occasion, work at night on high volume arterials away from residential areas is scheduled to avoid traffic congestion during the day. In the City, alternate routes are usually available on nearby streets making daytime work less of a problem. Construction related emergency repairs are also more easily managed during the normal business day. The pavement condition of the City's 357 miles of roadway is evaluated biannually with our automated Pavement Management Program.
