What does the way you speak say about where you’re from?

It takes some getting used to, but it's so smart and keeps traffic moving. Since moving to TX, I estimate that I spend at least twice as long sitting at traffic lights than I did in Jersey.

We have A and B off/on highways, but not busy streets. I've never seen type B. These jughandles are different than the Michigan turns, which are just on busy boulevard streets, not highways. When those are in place, turning right and coming back around is the only way to turn left. They are very common here.
