This is for all the people that voted for New Jersey as lamest state

You also know that such anecdotal evidence means next to nothing.
I know someone that had XXX brand of car die on them, so I know those cars are unreliable.
#1 It takes a while for drivers to get used to a new traffic flow.
#2 If it's the only jughandle around, it's the same old inconsistent application problem.
Neither is a problem inherent to jughandles - both are problems inherent to the people implementing and/or using them.
In moderate traffic a jughandle can cost you maybe 2 minutes to sit through an extra light. In rush hour traffic a jug handle can cut down major traffic by a whole lot more than that.
And to address Nitemare's statement, the law about pumping gas is to create jobs. We still pay less for gas than surrounding states because of lower taxes. I can pump my own gas too, I do travel every now and then.

That intersection by Ikea sucks. And a lot of your roads in Philly are one-way, so left turns are no big thing. But you gotta admit, it sucks being in the left lane on a street with no left turn lane and getting stuck behind some guy waiting to turn left. Our roads have a much larger capacity than 200 year old narrow city streets with 25-35 mph speed limits, you know.

Similar to where I live: http://money.cnn.com/best/bplive/snapshots/42702.html
Except they say the median home price here is $265k... I'm looking to buy a house soon, and I can't find any house listings nearly that low. I guess they include townhouses, they go for about $200k, but I didn't think there were that many here.

New Jersey is the only state where all its counties are classified as metropolitan areas.
from link in post above. an interesting fact. for all the New Jersians that complain about Insurance rates, that's the reason why.

The Moorestown/Mt.Laurel/Marlton/Medford/Maple Shade areas are a great place to live. I lived there for 20 years growing up. I visit Moorestown and Philly about twice a month now.
The pros of Moorestown and surrounding South NJ areas:
1) There's about 4 malls within a half hour drive, and shopping plaza's/movies/restaurants everywhere. You want something, you can probably get it here.
2) Cheapest gas you'll ever find, yes, cheaper than DE.
3) White Castle baby!
4) Close to shore/AC and Philly areas, easy drive to Poconos/NYC.
5) Nice roads.
6) Great schools, education wise and teacher:student ratios
7) Moorestown Main St. is gorgeous, very well done.
8) Low crime
9) Very cheap liquor, even cheaper than DE. I have friends in Philly who make liquor runs to NJ, yes it's that much cheaper. I also have friends who moved from Philly to NJ to live, so Philly can't be that much better.
Cons:
1) Speed limits are low in many areas to generate revenue (good ex is right off Betsy Ross)
2) Housing is way overvalued, and property taxes suck
3) Traffic circles suck (route 73 is a good example)
4) Not much to do socially except hang with neighbors, not much night life
5) Traffic can be a nightmare, mainly rush hour and holidays
And sorry Deeko, WaWa > Sheetz. And I've been to Sheetz in PA, WV, MD, and NJ. For example, I just ordered a chicken salad hoagie the other day from Sheetz (in MD). It tasted like sht compared to WaWa's, and cost more. Also, WaWa has better bread selection, like people eating healthy (multigrain). WaWa sells fresh veggie snacks and Sheetz doesn't. As well as cheaper gas than Sheetz. Sheetz is a cheap imitation of WaWa and I've been to most of them in the Northeast.

NJ is doing away with the traffic circles, many have been removed and redisgned as normal intersections. The next big one to go is in Marlton at the 70 and 73 intersection, it will now be made into an overpass type of intersection.

OH GOD....don't eat there. I think they are closing it down anyway when they build the new intersection. I saw not too long ago that it was for sale though, over 3 million they wanted for that dive.
