My brother in law and my nephews and my sister in law all get really confused when they come up here to visit. The U-turns drive them nuts. They are always complaining about having to go to the right to make a left and how it doesn't make any sense. How if you want to make a left at a light you should be able to make a left. It's actually kind of funny for me. I must agree though NJ roads can be very confusing if your not from the area.
i wonder if actually does prevent more accidents. I guess that must be their reasoning for it, but i was always under the conclusion that most people could handle making a left hand turn
nah we just do it to keep u LI people outta NJ! haha
haha, hey!! Well, it doesn't seem to be working very well, since i'm in nj at least once a month
bryan, tell them about your idea for the apartment
If you're familiar with Edison, try to imagine making a left on Route 1 to get to the Menlo Park Mall. You'll back up traffic for hours and never get through. Now go down the road to woodbridge and picture the same thing to get either to Woodbridge Mall or Toys-R-Us, you'll sit there for hours.
There's just way too much traffic in this area to allow for left hand turns. Maybe it's because I grew up in Jersey and I find it confusing because I've always driven these roads.
