Jughandles

In Jersey, you don't turn left from a center lane. You turn left using a "jughandle" which is like an right exit ramp BEFORE the intersection where you want to turn left. It's confusing to a touristo causing locals to honk. (How rude! Check out my license plate!) Apparently, New Jersey isn't the only state using "jughandles"--Connecticut, Delaware, DC, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, NY, New Hampshire, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Vermont--but Jersey is particularly associated with them.
