Right turn from the left lane in Dearborn Heights?

Hey, Michiganders!

Have you encountered this weird left turn before?

I recently came across the intersection at Ford Road and Telegraph in Dearborn Heights that caught my attention. Instead of turning left at the traffic light or doing a Michigan left, you’re routed to a right-hand exit lane that goes out to Ford. After following it, you can go left onto Ford going eastbound.

Why??

I’m curious—how common is this kind of setup around Michigan? Have you noticed similar configurations elsewhere around the state? Why is this one like this?

Feel free to share any insights about this intersection or other locations where you’ve seen something like this. Appreciate the input! 🚗
