That's true in New Jersey at least. Here's a "pre-intersection" jughandle
from my home town, as previously posted:

http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=40.468841,-74.860969&spn=0.003792,0.007135&t=k

And further down the same highway, here's a "post-intersection" jughandle:

http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=40.440284,-74.857932&spn=0.003793,0.007124&t=k

The second configuration seems to be used for more major intersections.
