    The divider killed half the businesses and job opportunities near me, as nobody can find an easy way to turn to get to what used to be a Sonic and a Church’s Chicken, amongst many other businesses that used to exist, until the divider dried up their business and they closed down.

      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.
