Cartersville is growing rapidly and has seen an increase in traffic in and about town. The Publix Shopping Center is a popular shopping area that offers a Publix, Target, Belk’s, TJ Maxx, Staples, and Applebee’s. The ever-popular Starbucks is located right across the street. Drivers, both old and young/experienced and inexperienced, are required to cross fast-moving traffic (coming off of I-75) while also watching for other drivers, opposite of them, who are attempting the same dangerous driving maneuver. This is an extremely dangerous intersection that is in desperate need of a traffic light.
