Fun fact, the town is pronounced “pea-buh-dee.”

In NJ it would be called a jughandle because they're allergic to left turns in a lot of places (and they do work well in context). Nice to see some jughandle maximization.

That's not a jug-handle. That's a clover. A jug-handle is like the i80 on-ramp near Kennedy and Jackson in Hackensack.

And, if you're up near Paramus, you only know that exit had a 'U'-turn because of a sign as you pass UNDER the exit in question. It's why NJ drivers are so angry.

But I disagree that the left-exit is better than the jug-handle. Slow-movers in the passing lane is always dumb on a freeway -- it's like someone on a 10-speed in the left lane. Unless it's a highway and the left lane is a controlled turning lane, the left exit is the best way to a stressful day for everyone.

That's not even a jughandle though...

I was wondering if they still did that and of course they do. The Jersey Jughandle is an abomination of traffic engineering.

I had to google it and am genuinely baffled. Anything to avoid roundabouts I suppose

They don't even trust motorists to fuel their own cars in New Jersey, how can they be trusted with a roundabout?
