no U-turn

Can't double back

No U-turn indicates that drivers are prohibited from reversing direction at a particular point in the road.

The phrase appears on traffic signs and in driving regulations.

A U-turn traces a U-shaped path, turning 180 degrees to go back the way you came: She ignored the no U-turn sign and got a ticket.
