Triple "Left Turn Only" Lanes

[1995hoo]

Northbound Loisdale Road at Franconia Road in Springfield, Virginia. The link below is to the satellite view because it's easier to see the pavement markings than it is in the Street View mode. Loisdale is the street running from top to bottom in the middle of the image. The leftmost left-turn lane is for westbound VA-644 (changes names after it crosses I-95). The second one from the left is for I-395 north and for the Beltway; the third one from the left is for southbound I-95. There are a lot of overhead little green signs indicating which lane for which road, although they don't give destinations. In typical DC-area driver fashion, it's quite common to see people get in the lane for southbound I-95 and then try to shove across the gore area at the last second regardless of how many cars are in the other lane. The Springfield area is rather unforgiving in that it's a place where it's fairly important to be in the correct lane for your destination because if you miss your turn or your exit, you may have to drive several miles before you can turn around for another try depending on which road you're using.

Missouri:
Westbound Clark Lane at US 63 Connector in Columbia.  This one is interesting because the far-right left turn lane exists solely for traffic that later turns right to enter Westbound I-70.  Actually, this whole configuration of intersections and interchanges is interesting in itself.

BLECH! Have a purpose-built connector road between two freeways, and put two at-grade intersections on it? Who ordered that?

[NE2]

That's not 'purpose-built'; it's the old alignment of US 63.

I can think of two more in the DC area

1.  VA 123 at Old Bridge Road just off I-95 in Occoquan, VA

2.  US 301 & MD 5 in Waldorf, MD

I discovered another one in Memphis on Monday:

Ridgeway Road NB to US 72 (Poplar Ave) Westbound:

SR 3000 (Prince William Pkwy) comes close; it has two left turn lanes and a thru or left turn lane when it turns onto itself at SR 641 (Old Bridge Rd, interestingly enough).

[deathtopumpkins]

Newport News, VA got a new almost-example about a week or so ago when the widened Bland Blvd at Jefferson Ave (VA 143) intersection opened. Approaching from the west (64 overpass / Jefferson Commons) Bland now has 2 LTO lanes, 1 left or thru, 2 thru, and 2 RTO lanes.

[Jordanah1]

in Wisconsin:
Madison:
US 12/US 51 interchange                               left, left, strait left
US 12/US 151 interchange                             left, left, strait left
US 12/W. mineral point road interchange         left, left, strait left
Milwaukee:
I 43/ WI 145 interchange                                left, left strait left
Waukesha:
WI 59/WI 164                                                 triple left

[formulanone]

NW 136th Avenue at Flamingo Road in Sunrise, Florida has a triple-left, so traffic can easily leave the Bank Atlantic Center. Otherwise, it really isn't all that necessary...but a helpful and thoughtful touch after the games.

[M86]

There is one at 144th Street & Millard Avenue in Omaha.

There are possible triple lefts planned at 41st & Louise (for Louise to 41st traffic) in Sioux Falls, SD.  A center turn overpass is also being considered for that intersection. 

[CentralCAroadgeek]

There's one in Gilroy, where CA 152 intersects Camino Arroyo. The triple left turns are found northbound on Camino Arroyo. The reason for this is that it is the only way from the shopping center south of 152 to go west on 152 (and also to 101) is to take these turns.

EB Gonzales Road at Rose Avenue in Oxnard
SB Mills Road at Main Street in Ventura
SB 101 at Las Posas Road in Camarillo

[bulkyorled]

Ive seen at least one in Orange County, CA but i cant think of where. And there's one off the West I-210 @ Sunland Blvd

[blawp]

Jamboree and PCH

[bsmart]

There are at least two here in Gaithersburg:

- MD 355 north at MD 124 (view)
- MD 124 south, turning from Midcounty Hwy onto Montgomery Village Ave (view)

I think you have the links reversed.  I go through the 355/124 regularly and often you can't make it through on a single light cycle.

One of the turns into Fort Gordon (west of Augusta, Georgia), off of Gordon Highway (US 78/US 278/SR 10) has three lanes.  Here is a link to Google Maps satellite view of the turn to back it up.

In about two weeks Springfield will have it's first Triple Left Turn. Eastbound US 60 to Southbound US160/MO13 http://maps.google.com/maps?q=Springfield,+MO&hl=en&ll=37.137338,-93.295939&spn=0.002461,0.002411&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=55.937499,79.013672&oq=spring&t=h&hnear=Springfield,+Greene,+Missouri&z=19. Something like 5,500 cars in the 7:00 Hour. (for southwest missouri anyways)

I'm glad the bottom of your post said 'Missouri'.  It should be prohibited to type 'Springfield' on here without identifying the state.

[vtk]

It should be prohibited to type 'Springfield' on here without identifying the state.

Unless referring to the hometown of The Simpsons.

If Louisiana has one of these, my bet is it's in Lafayette or New Orleans...

I think you meant westbound US 60 (James River Freeway). I don't doubt that it's needed. I remember Campbell being a bitch at the best of times when I used to live in Springfield.

[agentsteel53]

I'm totally gonna necro this thread because I discovered one yesterday.

http://goo.gl/maps/HdA8

Carmel Mountain Road eastbound turning onto El Camino Real northbound, just north of where I work.

[kj3400]

I came across one the previous weekend....

Arundel Mills Blvd EB at Arundel Mills Cir has one for the new casino access. I haven't seen a satellite image updated enough to show you it though.

[swbrotha100]

Tucson AZ has one from EB Ajo Way to NB Alvernon Way. Left two lanes turn left. Third lane has the option to go straight through the intersection. It's just south of where Aviation Hwy (AZ 210) connects to Golf Links Rd.
