Description
The intersections at Gray Highway and Nottingham and Gray Highway and Shurling Dr. are a major problem. People coming from Jones County seem to think it is okay to fill the intersection— then the light turns red and they are stuck in the middle of the intersection while those of us with a green light cannot go anywhere. I have seen officers ignore this behavior, but I also believe it’s because there are so many priorities and traffic issues sink to the bottom of the list. It has gotten so out of control that I have sat through a green light up to three times. Maybe cameras strategically placed could be used to identify drivers blocking intersections and ticket them.

The intersections on Gray Highway are part of the I-16/I-75 project. They are the contractor’s responsibility. We have reached out to GDOT and the contractor. They are working on a solution to remedy some of the ongoing issues affecting traffic in this area. Your complaints should be directed to GDOT area office at 478- 757-2601.
In addition, we have notified GDOT of the issue. They have worked on this situation for the past 3 or 4 days. They will continue to work and monitor the situation and adjust their traffic plans accordingly. Macon-Bibb County cannot adjust traffic signal timing, or work on traffic issue while this contract is in place. While we do understand your frustration, our hands are tied as well.
