You know as embarrassing as this is, thank you to everyone who gracefully misses an exit. It's much better that the dangerous morons who realize it and cut across to the exit lane with no warning afraid to miss their exit.
As the saying goes. A good driver sometimes misses their exit. A bad driver never does.
I’ve seen that multiple times. I always slow down, get the tag number, and call the cops to report them. They don’t deserve to drive putting lives at risk like that
Edit: Thanks for the one two downvotes, person people who think losing 10 mins of travel time is worse than human death and suffering due to negligence
In Mass, that cloverleaf could add a long time. The merges between highways get very crowded very fast and everyone drives like an asshole, slowing things down even further.
A cloverleaf would only add significant time if there was traffic, in which case you'd have to be pretty stupid to miss your exit since everything is happening in slow motion.
I've driven in a lot of places and MA isn't really any worse than anywhere else I've driven. CT is way worse in terms of sucky drivers IMO
Public transit attracts New Yorkers, just look at New York. Do you want New Yorkers on top of your other issues? The incessant Budda Bings and Budda Booms at all hours of the day and night?
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.

Yeah, where is this not a thing? I get extreamly angry when I do this but again, it's the system and it works

If you miss the exit to our camp, you're going to the next town 15 miles away. One slip'll cost ya 30 miles.

I saw a person attempting to REVERSE on the interstate once because they missed their exit

Good drivers miss exits, bad drivers never do.

Am i missing something? What's the problem here? Just go through the cloverleaf, you maybe added a minute to your trip.

Don't you know that public transportation is woke? What are you, some kind of socialist?

Did you take the photo while driving? On a highway, at night?
Don't do that, please.

I was wondering if they still did that and of course they do. The Jersey Jughandle is an abomination of traffic engineering.
Pringles@sopuli.xyz · 6 pts · 357d
I had to google it and am genuinely baffled. Anything to avoid roundabouts I suppose
rc__buggy@sh.itjust.works · 9 pts · 357d
They don't even trust motorists to fuel their own cars in New Jersey, how can they be trusted with a roundabout?

This looks kinda fun to drive through. I'd miss my exit on purpose just to drive through that lol
