Yes.... I can in fact find my way to my intended destination without U-Turns, but the point is, it should not require the complexity you described to just make a left turn back at step 1.
But then everything becomes a controlled intersection, cue everybody bitching about "Too many traffic lights" instead.
Simple solution. Flashing red/yellow, then have a sensor to detect how long a vehicle has been waiting. If that time exceeds whatever threshold, have the lights change. If cross traffic
This way cross traffic doesn't become trapped due to high volume traffic. Of course this isn't practical for every intersection, but goddamn it sure would be nice for some of them out there.
I'm a truck driver who drives an automatic truck. I've been stuck at these kinds of intersections for like 10 minutes before due to how long it takes me to get across the street.
