The problem with regular left turns is that it blocks three directions
of traffic. U-turns potentially block four. You avoid all that with
the jughandle. If the jughandle is past the intersection, merging into
the side road isn't too bad. If it's before, then it's a little hard.
There are advantages either way.

At the Menlo Park shopping mall there is a very clever arrangement at
Parsonage Road and Rt. 1. Find it on Google Maps. When Rt. 1 has the
green, drivers heading north can take the jughandle to wait at the
light facing the mall. Cars heading out of the mall via Parsonage Road
line up at the light in the usual manner. When the light changes,
traffic on Rt. 1 stops, people wanting to turn left from Parsonage Rd
to Rt. 1 N go straight across the highway and follow the jughandle
unimpeded and to and onto the highway. Those waiting at the light on
the inner part of the jughandle also cross the highway onto Parsonage
Rd and from there can enter the mall parking lot.

It works great!
