I am from Michigan. I hate the Michigan left. It basically puts something between you and the other side of the street. I wonder how much gas I've wasted going right for 1/8 of a mile just to go left.
Miss the first light to cross straight through the intersection. Idle.
Queue into the non-intersection left turn lane to cross two lanes of oncoming traffic. Idle.
Wait for a right turn red light and idle, or wait for an opportunity to merge into two lanes of oncoming traffic and idle.
The best case scenario is light traffic and hitting both lights green, but you're still going further and taking longer to accomplish a left turn signal's best case scenario. A double left turn lane with signal is almost always faster in my experience.
