I'm not familiar with that intersection... but here by me, we have one where they marked off the box like this, with signs that people on the main road must not come to a stop in the box... but this is specifically to allow people from the side road to be able to pull out onto the main road, into the box.

Essentially forcing people to let people in from the side road.

It's a clusterfuck of an intersection for sure, designed at a time long before it got so busy... what it really needs is a second traffic light, but it's very close to the main light so I guess that's why they don't.

Every time I go to the Wawa over there you make a right onto Route one into the turning lane and then everybody wants to get into the left to go straight and half the times I get stuck turning and then I have to turn around and go back. This is stupid.

I mean, even if you have enough to care now, it’s kind of hard to reverse a century or more of development for much of the state. The opportunity to have a NY style transit system has come and gone already.

I have not only been stuck in the traffic caused by this behavior but I have witnessed the cause first hand, driving along in the right hand lane and all of a sudden I notice the car next to me in the middle lane coming to a complete stop with nothing in front of them on multiple days. One time this orange Subaru really pissed off a trucker....
