We are residents, drivers, and community members concerned about the safety of the intersection at State Route 36 (Hwy 36) and Lackey Road in Newton County, Georgia.

This intersection has experienced multiple serious traffic crashes, including recent incidents involving significant injuries, and continues to pose a serious risk to drivers, passengers, and nearby residents.

🚧 Why this intersection is dangerous:
