Traffic Alert: New pedestrian signal near Cambridge High School

School is back in session in Fulton County, and folks driving by Cambridge High School in Milton might notice a slight change.

At the intersection of Bethany Bend and Cogburn Road near the school, a Milton police officer will work as a crossing guard of sorts, assisting with pedestrian traffic during weekday mornings and afternoons until new pedestrian signals are up and running.

Milton officials say this is an ongoing project in the area, and officers will be there until the crosswalk work is completed.
