You can pull a U-ie on any straight stretch of road you have 150m of unhindered visibility on (no bridge nearby, not on a curve) so long as it isn't specifically covered by a "No U-Turn" sign and isn't near or on a railway crossing.

Though having rails, this section of rapidway isn't a railway crossing. So maybe "U-Turn Permitted" would be wise.

Are you certain that light rail doesn't count as a railway crossing?

This is a really interesting question timc. It seems that the LRT is signed as a rail crossing per the Highway Traffic Act. However the entire area of the crossing is a bridge. The U-turns signs could be permitted at Parkside Dr in the West and Conestogo Rd in the East as these are likely greater than 150m from "the bridge" but I haven't measured it.

I can't see how the cut throughs for the fire department can be used by regular traffic.
