Keep in mind that TTS will say "exit to the right" at these automatically.

How about calling it U-turn?

Not all jughandles are for u-turns or not exclusively for doing a u-turn. Sometimes, they are for crossing the main road straight without having a left turn.

This particular one has a sign that says: U turn

So, we'll make the road type according to wiki guidelines and make sure it matches the signage.

Is it possible to merge this topic with the one Weeezer14 started at the NJ forums? We are essentially talking about the same thing.
Thank you.

It's technically possible.

But as I posted in that thread, I disagree with making this a state-by-state thing. I'd rather the conversation be either here as we're talking about it already at length and it's not specific to Jersey, or we move the conversation to the parent US forum.

Understood.
Thank you

So sorry for creating another topic on this over in the NJ forum. I was caught up (more or less) with reading the US forums and wanted to start a discussion after talking with orbitc via PM unaware that he created a thread there.

I too want a single documented standard, I only started the discussion in the NJ forum since I figure the NJ Wazers are the most familiar with jughandles and could be considered the "experts" on the topic.
