That's what I thought. Maybe they have bigger ones over there.

No googling cause I just wanna see how localized this lovely phenomenon is...

Regarding traffic and roads, if you come to a "jughandle," would you know what to do? Just answer as honestly as you can. If you have no idea what that even means, all the better.

Thank you for your time.

And the reason for those is? Seems as though it's a redundant system for making a turn; also looks like a waste of tax dollars to boot as well.

Yeah that's basically the sorriest excuse for an intersection I've ever seen.

I'd have no idea. Most of the roads I see are straight.

The only answer as to why I could ever come up with is how busy are roads get with tractor trailers due to being a centralized hub between 3 major cities... other than that, I couldn't tell you.

I think it is to keep as much traffic off the main street as possible. Left hand lanes have a way of blocking things up, so this tries to cure the problem, but it is a rather silly road design. And no, there are no "jughandles" in WA.
