I've seen more U-turns in the last couple months than I have in the rest of my life.  Did the rules recently change or maybe it's a more common practice in other parts of the world that's starting to catch on here?  Illegal or not they are something you need to watch for at just about any intersection now.

I think it has to do with the LRT being centre run down the middle of many streets. This has effectively created more "divided roadways" in the region, where cars can no longer make left hand turns into destinations anywhere they like. Motorists are now more constrained in these areas to making left turns at intersections, or legal U-Turns where allowed to double back to their destination.
