Triple right turns

I'm wondering if anyone has encountered an intersection with triple rights. I've seen triple lefts before.

I'm guessing he was referring to an at-grade right turn, not a triple freeway exit.

Does one lane being a shared straight and right turn along with 2 right turn only lanes count?

Probably quite a few off-ramps.

This is a three-lane right turn from Southbound I-5 to S 320 St in Federal Way, WA: https://goo.gl/maps/uwR5s8VbgxYAR3yf7

I guess so. That's cool!

Nice. Never seen one before.

Similarly, southbound I-75 to westbound Sheridan Street in Broward County, Florida (traffic wanting to go east on Sheridan uses a separate loop ramp that itself has a triple right turn on the far side of the median visible ahead).

Shouldn't the wrong-way arrows be placed just after the start of the exit ramp?

You mean those vertical arrows where the white Mercedes sedan is? I don't see any reason for those to be there at all, but they seem to be the norm in that part of Florida (not necessarily statewide). To my eye, they contradict the right-turn-only arrows. But when I use that exit I know where I'm going anyway and I tend to ignore the signs and pavement markings. (The fastest way to our relatives' house in that area is to go west on Sheridan because it has so many fewer traffic lights than Pines Boulevard does.)

I thought there were more in the Las Vegas area, but most of the ones I thought existed are double right turns.

But there's still a few:

The exit from NB I-225 to CO 83 in the Denver area has a signalized triple-right turn.
So many miles and so many roads

jeffandnicole

I forgot if we've had a thread on this before, or if their existences have been noted in the Triple Left threads.

2 of note: 

Atlantic City, NJ: https://goo.gl/maps/PmAJKVzagmKZi9Gr9 .  At the light, there's 3 separate lanes for right turns.

Philly, PA: https://goo.gl/maps/bte2fwFfwoPNRMQz6 .  Go back in time and you'll see this was formerly a quadruple right turn, but they took a thru lane out in favor of a bicycle lane. https://goo.gl/maps/G5pw9vZewH77P52P7

Wow, a triple left AND right!

SkyPesos

- I-270 WB to US 23 ramp
- I-465 WB to Keystone Pkwy ramp
Both of them have a double left turn and triple right turn.

I-285 outer loop (Southbound on western segment) ramp at Exit 20, US 41/ Cobb Parkway. This one actually has a quadruple right turn from the ramp, with 3 lanes turning right onto US 41 and the rightmost lane being separated so that it makes the right onto US 41 and then the next right onto Windy Ridge Pkwy Circle 75 Pkwy. However, the left-most right turn lane from the ramp is directed to turn left at the next intersection onto Spring Rd, so US 41 traffic past that point only gets 2 right turn lanes.

I-285 inner loop (Northbound) at the same exit, also has a triple right turn.

There are probably a few more in metro Atlanta that I can't remember right now.

Edit: Corrected street name
Control cities CAN be off the route! Control cities make NO sense if signs end before the city is reached!

The intersection of Edmondson Av and Franklin St. US 40 turns right at this intersection to head to downtown Baltimore. Whether it is a triple right turn or not actually depends on the time of day as you can see by the blankout sign lit up (barely).

University Boulevard at the Hugh Thomas Bridge over the Black Warrior River.   I would have shown street view, but PegMan is giving me some issues today.

I guess I'm not the only one who is experiencing copious amounts of lag while trying to enter street view these past couple of days.

tradephoric

I-75 and University Parkway DDI in Florida.  They just supersized everything (including triple right turn lanes) at that interchange and "BAM, look how great this DDI works!".   There's enough room to land a jumbo jet at that interchange but i digress.

The signalized crosswalk before the stop line makes ... no sense.

No it does not!  A semi stopped at the stop-bar would easily block the crosswalk (and the trailer of the semi would likely block the pedestrian signal head so the pedestrian wouldn't even see the "walk" indication).
