More traffic lights may be worth the cost
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
We all know that Fayetteville has plenty of traffic lights, buut I think most of us would agree that there are a few locations that are still in need of a signal to help keep traffic flowing.
The first place that comes to my mind is where Beauregard Blvd. and Ga. 85 intersect. If you’ve ever been on Beauregard (it’s called Redwine further down) trying to turn left onto Ga. 85, then you know you’re taking your life in your hands.
Usually, you have to time it so that you wind up in the suicide lane and hope that nobody else needs to use that lane. I know it might be irritating since a signal already exists at Ga. 85 and 54, which is a very short distance from where I’m talking about.
But really, if adding the inconvenience of an extra light to save a life or deter an accident, wouldn’t it be worth it? Where do you think a traffic light should be installed? Or is there an existing light that you think is unnecessary?
