A jughandle is a type of ramp or slip road that changes the way traffic turns left at an at-grade intersection (in a country where traffic drives on the right). Instead of a standard left turn being made from the left lane, left-turning traffic uses a ramp on the right side of the road. In a standard forward jughandle or near-side jughandle, the ramp leaves before the intersection, and left-turning traffic turns left off of it rather than the through road; right turns are also made using the jughandle. In a reverse jughandle or far-side jughandle, the ramp leaves after the intersection, and left-turning traffic loops around to the right and merges with the crossroad before the intersection.
Some unexpected wins for New Jersey lately, huh?
What do you mean, you make it sound like NJ is Alabama or something lol? Its a lovely place to live.
… If you enjoy being treated like a child at gas stations or left turns, at least.
/s…I appreciate the fact that Jersey is, seemingly, making solid moves lately… But the left turn and gas station BS is just plain insanity.
OK, enjoy freezing your ass off pumping gas in January lol.
What’s this left turn thing though?

I never realized this was a Jersey thing lol
Me either but after you asked what it was I looked up “New Jersey left turn” and that’s what came up.
Yes, just not a long line of great governance.
