Sugar Hill is in the process of installing a new pedestrian warning signal near 440 Level Creek Road.

The Pedestrian Hybrid Beacon is a traffic control device designed to provide enhanced safety and regulate road crossing for pedestrian and bicycle traffic. The city anticipates this signal will be particularly useful when the Gold Mine Park is completed and ready for use in early 2022.

The PHB increases drivers’ awareness of pedestrian crossings at uncontrolled marked crosswalk locations. Instead of constantly flashing warning beacons, the beacon is only activated by pedestrians when needed.
