When I moved here in June of 2007, I was totally lost trying to figure out that left meant right, and right meant left. I just think that with weird streets like that, there needs to be a behind the wheel training as well as a written.

Growning up in NH/MA, I have a lot of experience with rotaries and weird roads and traffic patterns (hello Boston!). But there are A LOT of people who have no idea what they're doing. You'd think eventually they'd pick up on things.
Even when I moved to NJ, it took me a while to get used to driving and knowing where to go as there are basically no left turns anywhere (on busier streets), and you have to be prepared and know where jug handles are. Also, I've always been taught that a solid green light = turn left only after yielding.. but that's not always the case here - in many places, you can just make the left turn, as the drivers coming from the other direction still have a red light. Needless to say, I got honked at a lot.
But I also learned quickly and have no problem now.
