I remember being in a town in far western Kansas. I was looking for something and soon realized I had turned the wrong way. There were no side streets to turn back on, but there were giant no-U-turn signs every few feet. So I drove the extra long block to the edge of town. and made my U-turn outside the limits. ;o)
I know why the signs were there. My grandfather lived in central Kansas and every Friday and Saturday night there was a constant parade of all the teenagers in that part of the county in their cars up and down the town's main street till whenever curfew hit. There was absolutely no place in that little town where they could have seen a movie or bought a pizza, a burger or a shake after dark, so driving up and down was all they had. The town in western Kansas was a little larger and had a few restaurants, but clearly had the same problems.
