[Future Useless Eater]

I learned of J-turns during many visits to the Detroit metro area. Many of their arterial roads use J-turns, and I always thought those were FANTASTIC!

I never knew what they were called, but wished more other communities would start using them. They REALLY do work to keep arterial roads moving FASTER (with or without traffic lights)

I too experienced those for the first time in Michigan several years ago, but my opinion is exactly 180. When I planned my trip for a one week class in Sterling Heights, I chose a hotel 10 minutes away. With the
J-turns and the traffic....that turned into a 35-40 minute ride in hell every day. That area is not known for being courteous to other drivers.
