  • In Oregon, a full set of jughandles was recently installed at the at-grade intersection of the Bend Parkway and SW Powers Road in Bend; no left turns are allowed through the intersection between the parkway and the local road. As of 2011, a jughandle is being installed in Oregon City.
  • In Rhode Island, some are being built in southern Rhode Island on U.S. Route 1.
  • In South Carolina, jughandles exist on US 17 through the Charleston peninsula, which is also known as the Crosstown. This is between King and Spring Streets in both directions.
  • In Virginia, a jughandle was built in May 2011 at the intersection of US 29/460 at Concord Turnpike in Lynchburg. This is to connect the former four-lane US 460 section that pre-dated the US 29 Lynchburg Bypass in the mid-2000s.

Famous quotes containing the word usage:

    “I am using it [the word ‘perceive’] here in such a way that to say of an object that it is perceived does not entail saying that it exists in any sense at all. And this is a perfectly correct and familiar usage of the word.”
    —A.J. (Alfred Jules)

    “Pythagoras, Locke, Socrates—but pages
    Might be filled up, as vainly as before,
    With the sad usage of all sorts of sages,
    Who in his life-time, each was deemed a bore!
    The loftiest minds outrun their tardy ages.”
    —George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)

    “Girls who put out are tramps. Girls who don’t are ladies. This is, however, a rather archaic usage of the word. Should one of you boys happen upon a girl who doesn’t put out, do not jump to the conclusion that you have found a lady. What you have probably found is a lesbian.”
    —Fran Lebowitz (b. 1951)
