I think it was to make it "safer" by taking out the suicide lanes but they failed miserably. It has caused more frustration and will lead to more wrecks IMO.

THIS happens every damn place they try this. It's sold as a safety upgrade but it leads to more frustration, more road rage, and more accidents. People try to dart in front of traffic at the u-turns and this leads to fender benders. It's a colossal f-up time and time again in towns across the nation.

It was explained to me that hwy 12 is one of the most dangerous in the state (in terms of wrecks). Mostly from folks turning left and crossing traffic. This was supposedly going to address that.
This is how it was described to me by a Rotary member. I just work here in Starkville, and I hardly ever go down 12 so I'm kind of indifferent about the whole mess.
