Michigan left
A U-turn manoeuvre that replaces a banned left turn at a major Michigan intersection.
Definitions
Instead of turning left at a big divided-highway intersection, you go straight through, hang a U-turn at a dedicated median crossover down the road, then make a right at the intersection. Sounds insane the first time someone describes it; locals swear it's faster and safer. Heavily used along divided arterials in metro Detroit and around the state.
