Do traffic calming devices soothe you or make you see red?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Several neighborhood thoroughfares in Atlanta have been redesigned to calm traffic.
In some areas, sidewalks have been widened, roads have been narrowed and concrete planters have been installed. Circular “roundabouts” have been created at intersections.
Residents have varied reactions. One says the changes are effective in the Little Five Points area. Another calls Peachtree Hills Avenue a disaster.
What to you think? Are the planters and curvier roads a way to calm traffic or a new traffic hazard? How do they affect bicyclists?
