I can't wait to see a few hundred trailers and buses driven by people who have never gotten the Detroit driving experience.
What? No love for the Michigan Left? Most of those U-turns have their own traffic lights so it isn't really that bad.
At least it's not like Chicago where you can be driving down the highway and run into a literal 2-lane wall of cars entering from an on-ramp on the right only to immediately cross all 5 lanes of traffic to get into the off-ramp on the left (a true masterpiece of urban planning).
