Kenneth S. Meidenbauer appeals from his conviction for making an illegal U-turn at a prohibited place on a highway. The location was a cross-over area connecting the eastbound and westbound lanes on I-94. These cross-overs typically have signs saying that U-turns are prohibited and that the cross-over area is restricted for use by maintenance and police-authorized vehicles. Meidenbauer argues that he did not make an illegal U-turn as a matter of law because he stopped in the cross-over median as part of an emergency stop before proceeding in the opposite direction.
We do not agree and affirm.
