The concept of jughandles being safer than an advanced green arrow and cutting down on traffic piling up for a left turn is horse poo.

Most of the jughandles are so badly labled that even knowing where they are roughly, I still end up missing it, turning right too early, and then, as I'm entering a hairpin turn, I'm crossing three lanes of merging traffic all wanting to go left, straight and right from various points of entry and crossing and merging all in the space of ten feet. I was once on a jug handle that spelled "&"

There was a jughandle that I always tried to avoid because it was basically another left turn with only one car length to get in and dodge traffic.

"Jughandles" - out of context, and being solidly from the Left Coast, this meant nothing to me. Totally mystified.

Suddenly TRAFFIC PATTERNS enters the conversation, and while I think I know more, I'm also more CONFUSED.

Juliebird: Thank you! And...interesting. I think if you did that in Seattle it would cause automotive mayhem similar to Snow (just SAY that word and watch traffic back up for 3 hours; I'm not kidding - happened last winter, one radio weather forecaster mentioned the possibility of snow (that never fell), traffic went straight to perdition)

Jughandles are dogs-and-cats-living-together.

Huh. I did not know what those were called. Other than annoying. There are a few in the western 'burbs here.

Jughandles in my world are cloverleafs.

I can't remember if I hated Order of Phoenix or Half Blood Prince? Do I want to see it?

Cloverleafs in my world are exit/entrance ramps for a highway. [link]

There's one on Western for the on-ramp to 90/94 (if you're driving South on Western).

It confused me the first time I saw it....

I think the difference between cloverleafs and jughandles is a jughandle forces you to cross the traffic you were just a part of, requiring a light or stop signs?

So my blinds arrived today. They are in a stack on the floor. Atop them are 2 cats.

Around here, they just leave packages on the front porch. Freaks me out. Anyone could take it! OK, why anyone would want custom blinds, but still. It just seems weird no signature was required.

They are talking about putting a roundabout at a crazy ass intersection near me. I don't know how I feel about this. The intersection is ridiculous, it has something like 5 or 6 roads coming together and there is no easy way to get the lights to make it anything but time consuming. However, this is Baltimore. No one knows how to handle a roundabout.
