Michigan


I think I said it before: Michigan reminds me a little bit of St. Poelten: flat, overcast and similar flora and fauna.

Michi-gonians are a little different drivers though: less aggressive than Austrians, but they like their traffic lights (see above) and they thought of a unique way of turning left. Instead of turning left at the intersection of choice, you

  • drive straight through the intersection,
  • then half block there is an opportunity to do a U-ie, so do a U-ie
  • turn around
  • turn right at the intersection of your choice.

Why do things the easy way, if there is a complicated way!

Hi Anna,
NJ is even more crazy. They have a thing called a jug handle, which means you have to turn right in order to make a left. So if you are in the left lane of a four lane highway and want to make a left you are f--d.
