My comment on the name should explain what i want it to do.. but if youd ont get it let me explain. I'm using this for places like cliffs so you can walk to the edge of the clif, but not walk off, then i use the opposite border on the other side so they can magically walk over the side and onto the cliff. So i want them to be able to walk on the turf, just not exit a certain direction which is the direction I left out. and they can't move diagonal....

If there are no errors, then why do you need help with it?

And there are errors: you have usr ALL OVER THE PLACE.

You're making a mistake in thinking that "errors" means only compiler errors or runtime errors. It doesn't. An error is simply anything that fails to function properly in your code. Ergo, if your code doesn't work, it does have errors.

Very easy to fix, the problem is that you are using Exited(), which does its effect when the object has successfully left it. You want Exit(), So whenever something tries to leave it, it will do what you want.

The other problem, I believe, Is that you are using usr. Dont put usr in procs v-v. If you add: 
world << "usr = [usr]"
, it will most likely say usr is the turf.
turf/WestBorder
   Exit(atom/movable/M)  //When a movable atom attempts to exit WestBorder
      if(ismob(M))       //This is so it only does this if its a mob
         if(M.dir==WEST) //If his direction is WEST
            return 0     //Dont allow him to Exit. And it will stop here.
      return 1           //Allow Exit

Actually, user is the client that initiated a chain of events. In a proc, it may be who you think it is, it may be another player, it may be null, which is why it shouldn't be used unless you are in a verb.
