Flashing yellow lights will be added onto the traffic signals at the following six locations in Johns Creek by March:
- State Bridge Road & St. Georgian Common
- State Bridge Road & entrance to Parkway Baptist Church
- State Bridge Road & entrances to Home Depot/Whole Foods Market
- McGinnis Ferry Road & Hospital Parkway
- McGinnis Ferry Road & Johns Creek Parkway
- McGinnis Ferry Road & entrance to Johns Creek Town Center
These lights will allow the can to turn left if the way is clear, but yield to crossing pedestrians and oncoming vehicles. These lights will keep traffic moving. Have you ever been stopped at a red light, waiting to turn left and have to sit through the light even if there are no cars coming? This is very annoying when your side is going straight but you have to wait for them PLUS the oncoming traffic light to go from red to green back to red again for your dedicated light to turn green for you to make that left-hand turn.
Wow! I can't wait for this feature and hope it spreads to other areas quickly.
