Introduction 9 Jughandle Jughandles, also known as New Jersey jughandles, redirect left-turning movements at the main intersection using two types of turning movements as shown in Figure 6. In the first type of turning movement, left-turn vehicles exit to the right using a connector and then turn left to complete their desired movement.
