Can you modify a sentence for me ?
Hospital Road separated six bus stops into two groups, one group on each side of the road.
My teacher said,"one group on each side of the road" is lack of verb.
Or do you have any idea how to describe the bus stops in the photo?

Hi
Your teacher is correct saying that, "one group on each side of the road" is not a complete sentence and is therefore a sentence fragment. You are nearly correct with what you have said. The only things I would change would be the verb conjugation (present instead of past) and instead of using a coma, I would using a semicolon.
Here's an example:
Hospital road separates six bus stops into two groups: one group on each side of the road.
Here's another example to describe the map:
The map shows a group bus stops along Hospital Road. Depending on the bus line you want to take, you should either wait on the west or east side of the road.
I hope this helps! Also if you want to learn more about colons, you could check out this site: https://www.grammarbook.com/punctuation/colons.asp They do a fairly good job explaining the various uses.
