    Jersey calls them circles. I hate the ones where they put stop signs on the side road entrance to them.....it is impossible to get into the circle with heavy traffic, as the main road has the right of way. It is not a roundabout, it is a circle with two stop signs.....some of their circles do not have stop signs, others do.... Way to be consistent.

    The location escapes me at the moment, but one of the Flying J/Pilots along I-40 or I-10 (?) in the southwest requires you to negotiate one of these pretzels to get to it from rhe interstate.

    The Pilot on exit 4 in St George, Utah. I avoid the idiocy of that truck stop like the plague. In addition to the roundabouts there's the fact you have to go around the block, then enter the narrow entrance/exit to get to the fuel islands, and after fueling you MUST get through the entire tight parking area and wait for truckers to struggle to get into their hole.

    Actually no, it's I10.. I15 doesn't enter Az except for about 10 miles while in the hills in the NW corner

    Correct, and at mm 4 is the exit to the notorious Pilot on I-15 in Utah in St George, after 30 miles in Arizona from Mesquite, NV through the Virgin River Gorge.
