Road changes at intersection of SR 91 North and US 27 South
by MCL staff writer

After a number of near misses, the infamous, now more dangerous intersection of SR 91 North and U.S. Highway 27 South, has changed, again.
The Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) wants to remind motorists that the intersection has recently been changed. GDOT didn't say anything about it, but now there is a raised island of cement at the intersection that was not there a few days ago.
Motorists traveling SR 91 northbound to SR1/US 27 southbound should slow down and be prepared to yield to traffic traveling south on SR 1/US 27. Motorists traveling SR 91 northbound to SR1/US 27 northbound will encounter a stop condition.
On February 28, 2008, The Georgia Department of Transportation opened up fivenewly constructed lanes on SR 1/US 27 at SR 91. As SR1/US27 is now fivelanes at this intersec- tion, motorists traveling north on SR 91 should pay special attention to all traffic control devices. New traffic control devices in the form of permanent signs, striping, temporary flags and a message board are being used to alert motorists traveling on SR 91 north of these changes.
As with all yield and stop conditions, motorists should slow down and pay attention to all traffic control devices as well as other motorists. This includes yield signs, yield bars, stop signs, stop bars and traffic signals.
The Georgia Department of Transportation is committed to providing a safe, seamless and sustainable transportation system that supports Georgia's economy and is sensitive to both its citizens and its environment.
