And here is a funny, unrelated story about my own experience making left turns in Lansing, Michigan: I was born, raised, and taught to drive in New Jersey. Consequently, I was completely freaked-out by the center turning lanes I encountered on a trip to Lansing. So much so that I just made my own jug-handle by cutting through a parking lot to turn onto a side street.

It also depends on where you’re making the left. There aren’t a ton of jughandles in Northern Jersey, where I am, but a lot more in central and southern Jersey, and usually on highways with lights (route 1?) that get a TON of traffic.

so in terms of keeping traffic flowing and keeping route 1 from getting even more clogged up with stop and go traffic, having people make lefts from the left hand lane at a light slows things down so much. Just compare the left-hand turns on route 17 (where you turn left at a light, generally, with no jughandle) to other highways. It takes forever, and you almost always get stuck.

I’m guessing that the jughandles probably prevent a lot of accidents and t-boning. My mom got into a car accident this way when she was waiting to make a left at a light (with a left arrow sign), and some jackhole ran their red because he saw cars going the other way.

Left turns in LA are exciting, to say the least. There are relatively few left turn signals, so the typical strategy is to wait until the light turns yellow (or in some cases red) and slip as many cars through as possible, while the perpendicular traffic approaches menacingly, as though they’ll happily clip the trunk right off your car.

Nothing riles up an Angeleno like when an East coaster sneaks a left turn just as the light turns green.

my hybrid has an auto-stop feature and I wish all cars came with it. it can’t be *that* complicated to implement!

my other state of reference is pittsburgh, where there is an official beer store and you can’t buy less than a case of beer unless the store sells food - so many beer stores have nasty hot dog racks in front so they can break cases! PA also has state run liquor/wine stores, so if you’re throwing a party you have to hit 3 stores: beer, state liquor, and grocery.
