  NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Jughandle
Jughandles were created to help ease safety concerns during the mid 20th centruy at a time when agricultural vehicles shared the roads with normal vehicles.
We are adjacent to the the thousand-acre Jughandle State Reserve and we serve as a "gateway" to the Jughandle Ecological Staircase, a unique formation of geological terraces stretching from the intertidal zone off the coast, through coastal prairie and redwood forests and terminating in pygmy pine forests at the topmost terrace.
Jughandle Creek Farm was established in 1969 by the California Institute of Man In Nature (Across California Conservancy) in an effort to preserve this unique and beautiful place and maintain it as a gateway to the largest intact Ecological Staircase in the world.

 Science Fair Projects - Jughandle
Occasionally a backwards jughandle is used, where traffic on the side road cannot turn left at the intersection but turns left after it, merging with the main road.
The first mention of jughandles in the New York Times is on June 14, 1959, referring to jughandles having been built on US 46 in Montville, US 22 between North Plainfield and Bound Brook, and Route 35 at Monmouth Park Racetrack.
Backups on the ramp — the end of the jughandle ramp is not normally controlled by a traffic light, so it may be hard to make a left turn if there is a lot of traffic approaching the intersection, or to get into the left lane to make a U-turn from a reverse jughandle

 Signalized Intersections: Informational Guide (FHWA-HRT-04-091)
Jughandles are one-way roadways in two quadrants of the intersection that allow for removal of left-turning traffic from the through stream without providing left-turn lanes.
Jughandles may be appropriate at intersections with high major street through movements, low-to-medium left turns from the major street, low-to-medium left turns from the minor street, and any amount of minor street through volumes.
With jughandle ramps in place, left-turn lanes are not needed along the mainline; this may reduce the roadway cross section and reduce the amount of pedestrian crossing distance.

 NJDOT - Roadway Design Manual (Customary U.S. Units) - Section 6
In addition, no access is permitted on the outside of all jughandles including the entire length of acceleration and deceleration lanes, excluding the taper length, see Figures 6-V, 6-W and 6-X.
When initially providing jughandles at locations where there are no existing cross streets or there is an intersecting street on only one side, the designer should evaluate the future development potential of the property adjacent to the jughandle.
It is desirable to provide as much superelevation as practical on jughandles, particularly where the ramp curve is sharp and on a downgrade.

 Jug Handle SR
Jughandle, then, is one of the few opportunities to interpret this aspect of the coastal spectrum of ecological succession and landscape evolution.
The structure of the terraces at Jughandle is a result of the movement of the earth's crust (plate tectonics) and the fluctuation of sea level during the Pleistocene.
In the last several million years, the continent of North America has moved northwest, and the coastline along the Mendocino coast has risen slowly in relationship to the increase of the sea level brought on by the melting of the continental glaciers.

 Jughandle - Education - Information - Educational Resources - Encyclopedia - Music
A jughandle is a type of ramp that changes the way traffic turns left.
Reduces traffic light phases - increases green time for through traffic, and prevents backups in left-turn lanes (which may be replaced with backups on jughandles, but this doesn't usually affect the main road)
Backups on the ramp - the end of the jughandle ramp is not normally controlled by a traffic light, so it may be hard to make a left turn if there is a lot of traffic approaching the intersection, or to get into the left lane to make a U-turn from a reverse jughandle
