On Route 1, those traffic lights stay orange forever. If you came to a stop like people do in other states, the car would be rear-ended.
Jug Handles
The "Jug Handles": turn right if you want to turn left, are a real surprise! It took me a while to get use to them.
Traffic Circles
Also called "roundabouts" in some parts. The driver manual has (or had) an interesting comment at what one should do at Traffic Circles: follow the local custom!
Of course, after a month in Jersey I was shaking my head and the idiot out-of-state drivers who didn't understand the lights, jug handles and, particularly, the traffic circles!
Calling them orange lights seems to be an interesting custom. Here we call them yellow lights.
What about michigan Lefts, where you go past the intersection, do a u turn, then turn right, all to get left. Is that what you are refering to as a milk jug? Or are you referring to when you turn right to go left?
