you know how hobbes always says that instead of a left, you just make 3 rights? well that’s what they do. you cannot make a left turn off a roadway, you have to go right on some roundabout thing that takes you across that roadway by taking 3 rights. it’s ridic.

It’s called a Jughandle.

Left turns are dangerous.

On Rt 22 here, they have taken to completely dividing the highway and adding jughandles. That way you don’t have people trying to go into and out of businesses crossing the highway.

The left turners down in Baytown, Texas irked me. If I was trying to leave a shopping center and turning right at a “non-main” entrance, there would always be people waiting to turn left from there across 4 lanes of traffic.

Instead of sensibly driving to the other end of the parking lot and making a left from the traffic light.
