Historical reasons. Originally the major road, Bridgeport, continued along what is now Laurel, Moore ended there, and Cedar (now the west leg of Bridgeport) was a smaller road that forked off a little to the east. Later, Bridgeport(–Laurel) and Moore(–Cedar) had the main intersection, with a little bit of Cedar being a smaller corner shortcut. Finally Bridgeport swelled up on its current route, and the old intersection became useless.
