We are in the process of adding additional pedestrian signage in this area of Dresden, including an in pavement "State Law - Stop for Pedestrians in Crosswalk" sign. These can not be put at every unsignalized crosswalk however because of the configuration of the intersecting roads. Turning vehicles to/from these roads, particularly sanitation trucks and school buses, will knock these signs down. The additional signage should be installed in the next 2 weeks.

Thanks

I understand the problem with providing clearance for large vehicles, but one or two strategically placed signs should do the trick. Just need to slow drivers down through this area and remind them that the pedestrian has rights, too. Thanks for looking at this.

Thank you for fixing this!

Those signs have been put there multiple times and each time they get run down. The cars are not slowing down either. Nothing is going to change until they enforce the speed limit by having speed traps set up on Dresden. Just my 2¢.

That area also needs better lighting. At night it can be nearly impossible to see pedestrians are waiting to cross.

I guess Dresden is too narrow for a median - maybe a Chamblee-style crosswalk(s).

This is a duplicate of issue 835377.
