The intersection of Route 7 and Lisle Ave, in Falls Church suffers from a truly breathtaking frequency of illegal uturns. I make that turn every day, and while I'm waiting for a cycle or two to make a left onto Lisle, I will see several cars making an illegal uturn, at least every third day. (The seem to do it in bursts)

So, I propose the following rules for Uturn Keno:

• The cycle starts when the light for the left turns green.
• The cycle enters the bonus round when the left turn turns red.
• The cycle ends when the cars in the left turn lane actually stop entering the intersection.
• The pot starts at some number.
• For each car which makes an illegal uturn, the pot is multiplied by some number greater than 1.
• When the bonus round starts, that multiplier is increased.
• Players can bet that exactly n cars will make the illegal turn, or they can bet that n or more cars will make the illegal turn.
• If more than one player wins, the pot is divided evenly between them.
• If no one wins, the pot is put into the next cycle's pot.

This could be automated using the same technology used for red light cameras. Then, put on the web, or on a dedicated network like the Keno operated by the Maryland state lottery.

Or, the police could either enforce the law or get rid of the no-uturn. Personally, I'd rather the no-uturn be there, people making the right onto 7 from Lisle are a bit difficult to see from the left turn lane in question. (not that people seem to even try to look..).
