On Hand

Off Hand: The Banana Turn

Listen Later

In Michigan sometimes when we are driving and we want to turn left we have to turn right  first and it turns out that quirky traffic design can help prevent car crashes. Most people call it a Michigan Left or a Michigan U-Turn. But there are some Michiganders that have another name for it: the Banana Turn. 

GUESTS & SIBBLINGS: 

April Van Buren, producer for On Hand,
Chris Van Buren, attorney living in New York City
