[Talk-us] US 221 (NC) Median U-Turns

[Martijn van Exel]

UDOT loves them too. Like here: https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=18/40.68178/-111.98131 <https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=18/40.68178/-111.98131>
Also we love diverging diamond interchanges around here:

So much so that UDOT has a 60 page document about them including Arthur Miller quotes: http://www.udot.utah.gov/main/uconowner.gf?n=14769524027177477 <http://www.udot.utah.gov/main/uconowner.gf?n=14769524027177477>
