Triple "Left Turn Only" Lanes

Laguna Hills, CA recently increased two left turn lanes to three at Ave De La Carlota southbound to El Toro Rd eastbound


JustDrive

WB El Cajon Blvd to WB I-8 in El Cajon.  Granted, the third lane is for carpools only, but it's a triple left nonetheless.

There used to be one at Sabino Canyon Rd and Tanque Verde Rd in Tucson, but construction has eliminated it.

Don't know if this one has been posted yet, but here's a quadruple left. http://goo.gl/maps/0RC0Z

Thing is though, if you check out the street view imagery from the road that this bridge is turning onto, it's been turned into a triple left (good call NY, lol).

Also in Laguna Hills.  West end of Los Alisos Blvd. to Paseo de Valencia.

luokou

In Costa Mesa,  Fairview Rd. south to  I-405, CA 55 and CA 73 south.

Another one in VA is westbound VA-294/Prince William Pkwy at SR-640/Minnieville Rd in Woodbridge.

Not quite exactly triple "left" turn lanes, but it's close enough. On the northbound 101 Tully Road offramp in San Jose, there is a triple right turn as part of the newly redesigned exit there.

Northbound US-101 turning from Van Ness to Lombard in San Francisco.

Now this would be amazingingly rare... a Triple Left Turn in New Jersey

When you mentioned that, I knew I saw one somewhere!

I've never seen this one IRL, but there's one set on a side road at US 206, immediately next to the interchange leading to Exit 7 of the New Jersey Turnpike.

http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=New+Jersey&aq=&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=37.410045,86.572266&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=New+Jersey&ll=40.12151,-74.706227&spn=0.002207,0.005284&t=h&z=18

As you can see, the far-right left turn lane is for traffic going directly to the Turnpike, while the other two are for traffic turning onto Northbound US 206.

In addition, there are two other triple lefts in NJ, along with a triple right:

http://goo.gl/maps/umhQ0

At the (former) Airport Circle in Camden/Pennsauken, NJ.  Formerly a complete circle, the thru traffic on Rt. 38 goes over the circle.  Traffic exiting NJ 38 WB onto US 30 EB/130 SB utilizes a portion of the former circle, creating the Triple Left Turn.


http://goo.gl/maps/oy8C6

NJ 73 NB to NJ 70 WB.  This is an unconventional NJ Jughandle situation. I'm not sure if the final pavement markings are complete yet (the picture was taken near the end of the reconstruction project here), but using the photo, the left 2 lanes will be for traffic turn left onto Rt. 70 WB (the far left lane in the photo is only marked for left turns near the stop line).  The right-center lane will be for left turns onto NJ 70 WB, then quickly onto 73 NB (this movement is necessary due to W Main St entering the jughandle. Zoom out a bit to see that).  The movement is very similiar to the one previously posted.

NJ's Triple Right:

http://goo.gl/maps/KwrJQ

Baltic Ave onto the AC Expressway WB. OK, those that want to get technical will notice the lane markings on Baltic show the middle lane is for straight & right turn movements.  But then the lane splits, forming the 3 right turn lanes, and then all 3 right turn lanes are controlled by a traffic light.  So good enough to compare to the few triple rights that exist.

Reno, NV area:

S. Virginia St SB to S. McCarran Blvd EB
Sparks Blvd NB to Lincoln Way WB
I-80 EB off ramp to McCarran Blvd East NB - to be fair, the 3rd lane is a shared turn/thru (but that thru movement never happens)

New! WB S. McCarran Blvd. to SB Longley Lane. The third turn lane was just recently added.

A tripple left turn in MA in a relatively rural area.  Seems a bit out of place really.

There's one in Chicago on 57th Street at Lake Shore Drive:

Supposedly there is one more in the Illinois part of Chicagoland, but I haven't found it yet.

Quadruple! :)

-Unofficial but signed I-676 EB at Philly's Breezewood: http://maps.google.com/?ll=39.956543,-75.14911&spn=0.001203,0.002642&hnear=Pennsylvania&t=k&z=19&layer=c&cbll=39.956542,-75.149623&panoid=Z0bfV3HDuFSiYDpHZ7Djbg&cbp=12,121.39,,0,8.83

Another Philly quadruple right is the infamous I-676 (Vine Street Expressway) to I-676 (Ben Franklin Bridge). 4 lanes must turn right at the light...followed by 3 lanes making a hard left onto the bridge.

One can kinda call this a triple left in Philly - leaving the Citizens Bank Parking lot after a game at one particular exit point, 5 lanes lead out of the parking lot, with the left 3 turning left onto Broad St.

Worcesteroids.

Kidding – I actually have no idea – but it should be that.  Or maybe Worcesterfieldianites.
Wait, it's all Ohio? Always has been.
