Alot of states already mandate this, or at least something similiar I think. Your talking about making a U turn 1 block from your destination and taking a right turn into the location right? Michigan (among other states) has this policy and it works pretty well to keeping traffic moving along in high density areas.

I use this strategy frequently if there is a line to make a left turn on a divided street. Most of the time I can go to the next intersection, make a U turn, drive to my destination and park before I would ever make my way to the road in that line. Overall I think its a very eco driving technique.

Hopefully everything I typed made some sort of sense...this lecture is boring me to sleep.
