Franklin corner/bakers basin in Lawrenceville.

I worked there almost 40 years ago, and it has sucked EVERY DAY since then.

I used to cross there on my bicycle, to get to my job at the chicken farm about a half mile past the intersection. That was in the 1970s, I'm sure it's long gone now. Scary to cross even then, the green light didn't mean you wouldn't get run down by left-turning driver.
Jughandles were conceived in the 1930s, they were never intended to handle the traffic we have now.

Everyone complaining about this intersection and how to get to all the businesses near it, and this user just lays out the answer they discovered in the 70s.

Was going to say looks like it’s in Lawrenceville, close to Mrs. Gs (although I think they destroyed that and built a Wawas?)

Mrs. Gs is still around! Little farther south. Just bought a new fridge from them.

One of my least favorite intersections, second only to the bisected roundabout from hell with a solid three-minute red light in Princeton Junction

Ah yes that shitstain of an intersection. Remember when there was a red light camera there?? Tell me that wasn’t orchestrated

Wait, ok. I've been out of the area for a while, but shoudln't that be a party city on the left? And the remnants of Mrs. G on the right> I used to work up on Bakers's Basin, across from the fire training facility. Used to go through the intersection every day. A loooong time ago, lol.
On another note, I don't see a problem here. It's a shit intersection, and the people coming in from the left are making the best of it.

Mrs G’s relocated to business route 1 to make room for a Chik-fil-a, McDonalds and a Wawa.
Think that party city is now a AAA.

It’s like the ones that are complaining (about other drivers) wouldn’t do the same. If those “don’t block the box lines” weren’t painted there, would they give them room to get into the lane? I don’t think so.
But OP has it correct, that whole area needs a redesign.
