Norcross approves 4-way stop sign for N. Peachtree and Park Drive

Following an extensive traffic analysis that evaluated 24-hour vehicle volumes, peak hour operations, and the most recent 12-month crash history, the Norcross City Council recently voted to approve the installation of a 4-way stop sign at the intersection of N. Peachtree Street and Park Drive.

The analysis looked at existing (2019) and future (2030) conditions for the intersection. Eleven angle crashes were reported at the intersection in 2018. In addition to the 2018 accidents, crash data for 2016 and 2017 indicated a history of angle crashes at the intersection that could be corrected by an all way stop.
