I get the opposite problem. Actual cloverleafs are rare hereabouts, but there's one I go through every now & then. It's not even a real cloverleaf, just a gentle 90-degree ramp from eastbound to southbound, which just about any car should be able to take at highway speeds. Instead, there's an almost permanent tailback there, and a high number of rear-end accidents, because some people just have to slam on their brakes halfway through.
