LETTERS: TURNING LANE CREATES HAZARD ON KINGSHIGHWAY

To the editor:

In Cape Girardeau on North Kingshighway, a suicide lane was allowed for the entrance to Ford Groves. There is a center lane allowing turning in to the Groves parking lot, but there is also a lane (same one) to allow southbound traffic to turn on to Kurre Lane. The street and parking lot entrances do not line up as the traffic from both directions has to face each other head on. The street and parking lot entrance should be opposite each other.

How was this allowed to happen, as this is a state highway?
