Studies have found that it's much more dangerous to make a left-turn crossing two ways of traffic than to make a right, then a U-turn at the next median opening/intersection.  Also, pedestrians can use the median as a safeplace to cross traffic without having to play frogger with traffic.

It would be interesting to see how studies would compare crossing Main on foot, without medians, and crossing Southside Blvd.  Maybe its me, but in an urban area, studies should place just as much value on business/residential/pedestrian accessibility, just as much as they focus on vehicular movement.
