As a resident around the corner, please don't make this not possible especially "at any time" that is insane. At 9pm with no traffic to have to go through the light onto Johnson Ferry to enter the shopping center would be ridiculous. During the day, the traffic of the Johnson Ferry lane backs up turning left thus would make it a bigger nightmare trying to merge over and hold up traffic in the very bottleneck part between the two intersections. If I had to not turn left, I would have no hesitation holding up all the traffic in that area to allow me to get to where I need to be. That would block up 3 streets trying to condense into that area.
Roundabouts were suggested by a Dekalb Study to ease the crossing traffic in this intersection unfortunately the city did not agree.

I still don't believe advising all traffic to turn right out of Cambridge Only when Johnson Ferry is backed up for excess of miles. The traffic in afternoons often is open in this area flowing back towards Perimeter. Unfortunately for the cars turning left, if those would maintain the space and not block the stop sign, this would be a null issue. Unfortunately drivers allowing drivers to turn doesn't seem to happen all to much.
I greatly hope that the PCID / Brookhaven does not move forward with such restrictions especially if enforced 24 hours / day. My commute would be greatly improved if the plastic dividers were installed along AD to not allow cars to pass through the right turn lane before Perimeter Summit and bypass those waiting causing more gridlock.
