Dear Cecil:
What does JCT stand for, as in "I-45—JCT 2 miles"? I almost had a wreck yesterday trying to figure it out, and I have yet to receive a satisfactory answer. Help please soon.
Cecil Adams replies:
That does it. Next time I wash the screwdriver before the lobotomy. JCT stands for "junction."
