Remove the Median for Safer and Better Access to 2965 Johnson Ferry Rd


Remove the Median for Safer and Better Access to 2965 Johnson Ferry Rd
The Issue
As residents of Marietta, GA, we have experienced multiple incidents that highlight the urgent need for change. People are often forced to make a u-turn as other drivers exit right, leading to near misses and heightened risk of accidents. The current road layout also necessitates drivers pulling into another shopping center just to make a turn. Larger vehicles face even more difficulties due to the tightness of the road.
These issues all stem from one source - the median on our local road. If we were able to remove or shorten this median, it would greatly improve access to 2965 Johnson Ferry Road and eliminate the need for dangerous u-turns.
The situation is not only inconvenient but also poses a serious threat to safety in our community. According to data from National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), over 50% of combined fatal and injury crashes occur at or near intersections like ours.
By removing or shortening this median, we can reduce these risks while also improving access for local businesses in our area that rely on easy accessibility for their livelihoods.
We urge you all - residents, commuters through this area, business owners affected by this issue - join us in calling upon our city officials in Marietta GA, USA: Let's remove or shorten this median! It's time we prioritized safety and convenience over outdated infrastructure design. Please sign this petition today!
