DeKalb County officials unveiled a new traffic signal earlier this month at 4920 Flat Shoals Parkway.

Following a number of traffic accidents and a pedestrian death, neighborhood residents rallied to get a traffic signal installed to prevent future incidents. The signal is the first in this part of DeKalb County to have flashing yellow left turn arrows, which is a new standard and adds additional safety for left turning traffic. The signal was placed in flash mode priot to going live so drivers would be alerted that a change was coming.

The signal is now completely operational.
