That RCUT looks like an idiot designed it. Now you want people to do a U turn into traffic doing 65mph. Next, you will want red lights at the U turn. Only thing that works is better driving habits. You can't regulate people into change. How about 3rd option, leave it alone. That RCUT looks like an idiot designed it. Now you want people to do a U turn into traffic doing 65mph.
