Triple "Left Turn Only" Lanes

[CentralCAroadgeek]

The I-5 offramp onto Disneyland Drive in Anaheim.

This is a triple right turn only, but whatever.

US 1 SB to US 1 SB in Philadelphia.

No link for now, but the I-15 Flamingo exit here in Vegas has a triple left.

No link for now, but the I-15 Flamingo exit here in Vegas has a triple left.

I linked this one on page one of the thread.


Adding a couple other Nevada examples:

Las Vegas/Henderson - third turn lane on all is shared left/thru (for the off ramps, they're effectively left turn only lanes)

• US 95 north offramp to Cheyenne Ave WB (Google 45° aerials show during recent widening).
  
• US 95 north offramp to Durango Drive SB
  
• I-515/US 93/US 95 SB offramp to Boulder Hwy (SR 582)
  
• I-515/US 93/US 95 NB offramp to Sunset Road (SR 592)
  
• Swenson St NB to Tropicana Ave WB (exit from McCarran Airport)
  
• Swenson St NB to Harmon Ave WB (end of one-way, also major parking exit from Thomas & Mack Center -- this one is a true triple left only)
  
  Carson City
  
• Fairview Drive WB to SB Carson St (facilitates movement from temporary to current alignment of US 50/395)

With the "I-515/US 93/US 95 NB offramp to Sunset Road (SR 592)" example... seriously? NDOT using "ONLY" for a left+forward lane? "Only" should be reserved for lanes where only one direction of travel is permitted... tsk tsk.

It's an older install. NDOT has started to use the "ONLY" text much less, in favor of just additional arrows. The reconstructed off ramp at I-80 WB to Virginia St in Reno now has no fewer than *8* consecutive arrows on the pavement in each lane at the first signal without an "only" in sight...despite two lanes just going straight with no turns.

NC 210 NB to Honeycutt Road WB. The left lane was still closed the last time I was down there. That whole setup will soon qualify for that Coolest Interchanges thread I happened to have created.

Found a triple left turn in New Hampshire the other day on NH 28 just south of I-293 at the Mall of New Hampshire: http://goo.gl/maps/nMj2s
Triple lefts are pretty rare in New England.

Thanks to the distant interstate trailblazer thread I have the location of the other triple left in Illinois in Chicagoland, which is at the Stony Island/65th Place/ SB Cornell Avenue intersection:

Looks like a triple left was recently added for the NB US 169 exit to Bren Road/Londonderry Road in the Minneapolis suburbs:

Another triple left in Gilroy, Arroyo Circle at Leavesley Road. Not quite a triple-left only, since the far right left only lane is an option lane.

While I was exploring I-278 in New York City a week or two ago, I stumbled on this triple left turn.  If you unckeck 45º view, you get older imagery that has a quadruple left turn.

Posted that one back in Sept. https://www.aaroads.com/forum/index.php?topic=4320.msg171741#msg171741

Just spied a triple left turn lane on Indian Head Hwy (MD 210) at MD 228. Also home to a three way CFI that I never knew was there.

In Montgomery County, Maryland:

Northbound Md. 355 (North Frederick Avenue) at Md. 124 (Montgomery Village Avenue) in the City of Gaithersburg here.

Nearby, Southbound (compass westbound) Md. 124 (Midcounty Highway) approaching Montgomery Village Avenue here.

In the City of Rockville, eastbound East Gude Drive approaching Md. 28 (Norbeck Road) here.

Carroll County:

City of Westminster, northbound Md. 97 (Malcolm Drive) approaching Md. 140 (Baltimore Boulevard/Westminster Bypass) is two left turn lanes and a third lane is left or straight ahead here.

Former US 29 (Old Columbia Pike) has 2 and a half left turning lanes at Sandy Spring Rd (MD 198) before it merges back onto US 29.

Here's a rare setup: triple-right, then triple-left!

Here's a rare setup: triple-right, then triple-left!

The "triple-right" has right arrows painted on it, but I don't know I personally would consider it a turn, since it's the only movement permitted, it's a straight thru on a curve.

In some ways the left is kind of similar as well..... That whole series of intersections is pretty weird.  Curiosity got the better of me, and I had to use GSV to find out it's a Wendy's that's locked into the whole mess.

My problem with the triple-left isn't that it's a "straight thru on a curve" the way the triple-right is.  It's that it's not a triple left.  It's a single hard left onto one street, plus a double soft left onto another street.

Found another triple right turn lane in the Buckhead section of Atlanta

https://maps.google.com/maps?q=Buckhead+GA&hl=en&ll=33.849216,-84.373828&spn=0.001679,0.002411&sll=40.000557,-75.267447&sspn=0.139126,0.308647&t=h&hnear=Buckhead&z=19&layer=c&cbll=33.84929,-84.373754&panoid=7mBseDrlR1QyaXMOH31DLg&cbp=12,211.19,,0,13.92

[Roadsguy]

Why does the far right lane go through a "porkchop" ramp, while the other two right-turn lanes go through the light?

[vtk]

Because the right lane has "continuous right turn with caution".  Those are almost always separated from additional right turn lanes, but only sometimes with a raised island.

There are a bunch of those in the area with a small "island" between the two turn lanes.  The right most turn lane is accompanied by a sign saying "Keep Moving" (as in that lane is not controlled by a signal).

I haven't yet found a triple single direction turn anywhere in Cincinnati that wasn't a one way. A one way example exists on southbound Plum Street at 6th in downtown, where the Convention Center effectively "breaks" Plum Street.
