Signs went up along Williamson making it illegal to turn left between nine P-M and three A-M.
The hope is that they can deter cruising if it is harder for drivers to find a place to turn around.
Residents on affected streets such as Trinkle, Preston and Christian Avenues say NOT being able to turn into their neighborhood isn't fair.
