It is not correct to connect two independent (main) clauses with a comma.
If you look carefully at (a), are there two independent clauses?
Compare with (b).

Alphecca,
Could you please let me know what you think of "EXIT" sentence and for 14 if I were to add " for her to have charged extra for one and not the other" how would I have to start the sentence?
Thank you so much

The problem with the EXIT sentence is that "top" and "bottom" do not apply to an ordinary street. Perhaps if it were on a hill, then it would make literal sense. Otherwise a street does not have a top or a bottom. For example, Lava Road runs up Mount Vesuvius. So you could say:
Exit A lets you out at the bottom of Lava Road; Exit B lets you out at the top.
Exit A lets you out at the bottom of Lava Road; Exit B lets you out at the top.
