It has always been the rule, that you yield to the left. The trouble
is that most people don't understand that, nor do they really
understand what yield means...you judge the pace of the traffic and
proceed in matching that pace. Instead, people stop dead in a panic.
One favorite example is the exit 88 Parkway Northbound entrance...holy
hell that one is hairy and it's a simple merge that people can't
negotiate.
If people were competent drivers, circles would be a wonderful thing.
The reality is, most people can't drive, they just aren't competent.
Jughandles are a great invention, they don't allow people to do stupid
things as easily. They can be annoying, but they serve the lowest
common denominator very nicely.
One thing I wish is that NJ would just have a standard and apply it
uniformly. Now you have jughandles in some places, circles in others
and fully signal controlled 'normal' intersections with turn lanes and
direction signals. It's bad enough being a 'local' to these
variations, people from out of the area have no hope.
I've quit riding my motorcycle here, I've given up. The average
driver is just so incompetent that it's not worth the risk to me.
