Homer Watson and Ottawa Three Lane Roundabouts
#96
Yeah, it's a weird design, those jughandle rights. I think it might be a local planning reaction to the briefly-3-lane roundabout at Block Line, where people were getting confused about what lanes they needed to be in.

If you separate the right-turning traffic out from the intersection, then it's very hard for them to do something completely stupid. And I guess this way, people turning right don't have to be confused by watching traffic curve around the roundabout, and can just watch a more familiar stream as if they're at a T-intersection.
