Often maligned, often misunderstood, the Michigan Left Turn is an operation which causes much consternation among out-of-state drivers and nary a second thought from locals. Developed in Michigan in 1960, these turning set-ups exist across the entire state, from Niles to Escanaba and from Detroit to Marquette.
I love Michigan Lefts so much.
The slogan for the Michigan Left: I HOPE YOU LIKE MERGING!
Also remember flashing red on left hand turns is a yield to oncoming traffic (not a mutual stop with oncoming traffic). Also the yellow after a flashing red means fucking gun it because you’re about to get the green arrow! In some places the flashing red has been replaced with a flashing yellow arrow system with all kinds of flashing and solid arrows. Basically if you come to Michigan just sit at an intersection until someone honks at you. Shit is like Road Warrior.
Perfect timing. Heading back to the Great Lakes State tonight! Michigan Lefts abound!
I’ve seen this pop up on my page three times now and can’t keep quiet about this anymore. What the hell is wrong with people? I find driving to be painful as is but I think if I had to deal with this I might just stop all together.
