Yup, Texas MLT will be bringing a Michigan Left to the intersection of Preston and Legacy (http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=Preston+and+Legacy,+Plano&sll=33.073275,-96.686211&sspn=0.10616,0.222988&g=Plano&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=Preston+Rd+%26+Legacy+Dr,+Plano,+Collin,+Texas+75024&ll=33.07149,-96.79579&spn=0.026684,0.055747&t=h&z=15). Can't wait to hear about all the chaos that results from this!  :-D

What about a New Orleans left turn?  Pass up the intersection you want to take a left on, then make a u-turn a block later, then a right turn to complete the transaction.

There's one of those on US 71 at Pineville, MO.

I drove by the Michigan Left today, in Plano. One minivan turned left on the green light as I drove past, and one other car was about to. No one seemed to pay any attention at all to the no left turn signs and no one was using the turnaround lane past the intersection.  I LOLed.
