Driving west on Baltimore Pike through Springfield, Delaware County, Pa, one will reach a stoplight flanked by Springfield Square North and South.
A few dozen yards behind will be an exit from Springfield Square North which could but rarely disgorges traffic back onto the Pike. Why would it be used? It only allows right turns hence it merely puts a motorist in line for a light they would likely miss if he just used the main exit.
Now, if that driveway were an entrance on the other hand it would be used probably by more than half of those entering the center cutting down the snarl at the main entrance and bringing relief to those drivers who just want to pass on by.
A few hundred yards beyond Springfield Square is a small strip center across from the termini of North Chester and Riverview roads. It has a Starbucks, Talbots dress shop, an AT&T store and an absolutely bizarre traffic flow. The first driveway, counter-intuitively, is the exit. This means the customers unfamiliar with the site use it as an entrance.
Drivers entering as they should often find themselves face to face on the narrow traffic way with cars leaving the back parking spaces for the exit.
This small center is abuts the larger Olde Sproul Shopping Village which has several entrances and exits with a light at the main one.
A small concrete barrier prevents cars from entering the Village from the Starbucks’ center and getting onto the Pike using the traffic light.
Why? Both centers are private property. It is possible the absentee landlords are not aware of the issue. It is possible they don’t care about the issue.
Regardless, the lives of the community could be improved with just a small bit of effort.

Hah!
The springfield commissioner who would have to exert that small bit of effort are just like the Honey Badger. They just don’t give a poo poo.
Don’t look for a change in your lifetime.
