Michigan lefts

Noun

Michigan left (plural Michigan lefts)

1. An intersection design in which (for countries that drive on the right) left turns are not allowed and vehicles instead proceed past the intersection, make a U-turn, and then make a right turn; the 'turn' made at such an intersection.
   • Ordinarily, no left turn is allowed at an intersection where a Michigan left is in place. Instead, to turn left onto an intersecting road, it's necessary to continue past the intersection and make a U-turn at the median crossover, double back to your intended street, and finally turn right.2018 April 3, Paul Vachon, Moon Michigan's Upper Peninsula, Moon Travel, →ISBN, page 286
