Ok, I dug farther and that happened when someone put it up for
deletion. *SHRUG*.

White Horse Circle is a traffic circle in Hamilton Township, New
Jersey. It is no longer a true traffic circle, but is bisected by U.S.
Highway 206 (commonly called Route 206). It is named after the nearby
neighborhood of White Horse. This intersection connects South Broad
Street, White Horse-Mercerville Road, and Bordentown Road. Bordentown
Road and the western side of South Broad St. make up sections of Route
206.
Due to its bisection by a major highway and cut-up appearance, it has
a highly complex traffic pattern. Only White Horse-Mercerville Road
has a stop sign at the circle, while the eastern part of South Broad
St. and the southern part of Route 206 have traffic signals some
distance from the circle. To allow cars to move in a safe fashion,
there are six yield-signed road segments allowing cars to get to Route
206 and from the highway to White Horse-Mercerville Road. Route 206,
when the light allows, has no yield sign restrictions.
Since the completion of Interstate 195 which runs near the circle,
much of the traffic that would have gone through the circle would now
take the wider, faster interstate. Circle traffic bound for the
interstate would either take the exit on U.S. 206 south for westbound
traffic and the intersection at South Broad Street and Arena Drive for
eastbound traffic.
History and Trivia
At one point, the White Horse Circle was the northern end of U.S.
Highway 130 before the freeway through Hamilton was built. In the
1920s, it was also the northern end of N.J. 2. Some highway bridges
from the period along U.S. 206 have "New Jersey Highway 2" carved into
the concrete barriers.
The western end of New Jersey State Highway 37 was going to be at the
White Horse Circle at one time. That highway was going to run down
South Broad Street towards Yardville along what is now CR 524. At one
time, the bridge in Yardville on South Broad Street over Groff Lake
had "New Jersey State Highway 37" carved into the concrete barriers.
Now, the traffic that would have taken NJ 37 takes I-195.
