But you have the same issue even without the Michigan Left, but even worse because there is no way to get to the gas station (without finding a parking lot to turn into and turn around). Consider an intersection that is busy enough to have a raised median. The gas station is on the left hand side, before the intersection, on the corner. You can't get to it before crossing the light, due to the raised median. You also can't turn left at the intersection and cross over, because of the raised median on that road. So you have to drive down the road a piece, find a safe way to get going in the opposite direction (like pulling into and out of a parking lot), then do the same dance after the gas station visit.
