Alex, sorry you misread my comment. We were talking about -left- turns. A right turn on red, which then results in a left turn down the road, would keep the traffic moving. The improvement is a dedicated u-turn lane.

At last!!! As a frequent visitor to Michigan, I couldn't understand why we didn't adopt this system. The first benefit is that is will allow a right on red, so it keeps traffic moving. Second, if traffic is backing up, the queue is shortened by having some of the waiting cars in the special lane. When I moved to Plano from Austin many years ago, I thought the alleys were awful and I pined for my front-entry garage. Now, I can't imagine going back. I think Planoites will feel the same way about these intersections.

I voted for her husband for governor in '78 but Bill Clements swept the table. Not sure we have any governor-worthy politicos any more. But I'm glad to have her out of the Senate. I knew Lloyd Bentsen, and she's no Lloyd Bentsen.
