I call bullshit. If you want to go to a specific business, you can find the next safe intersection to do a legal U-turn. It's like that where I live and it hasn't put anyone out of business.
Go ahead and call bullshit, the next legal U-turn is like 3 miles up the road and over a major high rise bridge, where it's also illegal for bicyclists and pedestrians to travel. Meaning you have to be driving a vehicle, and it makes it 6 miles out of the way to perform a legal U-turn.
So yeah, many otherwise successful businesses withered away and shut down because of their piss poor planning and rearrangement of the roads and highways.
Moss Point Mississippi if you wanna dig deeper into it, the whole shebang killed half the businesses in the area.
How is this relevant? In OPs example there's LITERALLY a roundabout RIGHT THERE
My very first comment here recognized the roundabout and gave a thumbs up. Did you miss that part? You're actually under that thread right now, look up, I literally gave roundabout a 👍
My only significant complaint beyond that regards blocking the middle of the road with grass and trees and otherwise blocking what should in my opinion have been converted into a turning lane instead.
A roundabout is the best way to turn around, hands down.
it's almost like they're designed specifically for it :o
