People are dumb.
So what is planned to replace the Michigan Left, the originally planned grade separation, or just a double left on Legacy?
If it is true that the Michigan Left design is having a lower crash rate than a more conventional intersection, isn't Plano opening itself to a lawsuit if they switch designs and there is a crash?
At least from Google Streetview, it appears the intersection could be signed better - I see indications for a U-turn and to the opposite direction of TX 289, but nothing for drivers turning around to access Legacy. EDIT: Was thinking it was a Michigan left with all left turns prohibited, not just the left turns on Legacy.

Obviously Texans are not as smart as Michiganders, Louisianans, or Utahans. :pan:
I've been through that intersection hundreds of times. Never been confused by it.
