Cool site. That first drawing is just a "Michigan Left," isn't it?


Be well,

Nope. The "Michigan Left" on that site is the "Median U-turn crossover".

The "Contraflow Left Interchange" is a concept I've never seen before. It has the benefit of allowing cross street left turns to proceed simultaneously, but not much else. It'd probably be better to just implement diamond phasing at the signals of a typical diamond.

The "Echelon" is another interesting concept I've never seen before either. That one would be interesting to implement, but (like the "Center Turn Overpass") would be a difficult right of way challenge in an urban area.
