If you travel into Oil City, PA, from nearby Franklin, you'll come to this intersection. All three of those routes do indeed lead northward.
So, you're out there driving along and minding your own business, when suddenly, it's time to make a decision. The options really look different: you can go left, right, or straight ahead - it seems like all the choices a person could want. And yet, no matter what you pick, you're gonna end up going in about the same direction, anyway.
Is it just me, or is there an allegory in there somewhere?

I, too, have often wondered why north points in so many directions...
