Explanation:
Acho que U-Turn refere-se apenas aos casos onde o motorista, na mesma via, vira diretamente 180 graus e parte na direção oposta. Veja:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U-turn

O texto menciona claramente um local específico para retorno, por baixo da ponte. Por isso sugiro apenas "return", como no exemplo abaixo:
"A driver wishing to reach a destination he already passed must use other streets in order to return."
