No wonder they made a video. I have never seen an intersection (let alone 2) designed that way in Ontario. More common these days is the creation of modern roundabout (circular) intersections like they have in the EU.

Should have DO NOT ENTER signs appropriately placed as warning not to turn right.

Exactly. I had thought based on the road markings it was going to be a very hard right turn. This goes straight through and slightly to the left. Not sure why it had to be done this way on the Island.

Given that the road the car was on crosses the road it eventually went to, there is no purpose for the odd side road. There could have been a turn lane at the intersection.

A Jersey right turn only jughandle would be a heck of lot less confusing.

But...why? I see no benefit to lessen congestion of traffic in a left turn lane. I see higher risk of accidents and pedestrian killings. There's no aesthetic appeal. Why?
