Whoever designed the intersection of Horse Pen Creek Road and U.S. 220 must have had a bad day when the plans were made.
I live on Four Farms Road, off Horse Pen Creek Road, and if I want to get gas at the BP station on the corner, I can't get back on Horse Pen Creek Road to go home. Instead, I have to get on 220, do a U-turn somewhere, and then turn back on Horse Pen Creek Road.
Also, if you are heading north on 220, you can't turn into the BP, nor can you turn off of Horse Pen Creek Road. You have to do a U-turn on 220 or on Horse Pen Creek Road to get in.
The BP station has served our neighborhood well the past few years. Just because Eckerd has moved in across the street, the BP station should not have to suffer. What is going to happen at that intersection when 25 condos are built on Four Farms Road? What is the purpose of the median? Is crossing several lanes worse that doing U-turns all over the place?

I think if it was me, I'd leave BP for people who are just passing through and get my gas somewhere else.

I hate it when people have to make U turns!! What is the world coming to? A little inconvenience I'd say to live in such a nice part of Greensboro.
