GRAYCE Posted October 8, 2007 Report Share Posted October 8, 2007 That intersection is going to get worse! Glad noone was hurt Link to post Share on other sites
DarkLadyMorticia Posted October 8, 2007 Report Share Posted October 8, 2007 I was seriously injured at that intersection on my way to work one evening, PCHS Homecomming night 2001 to be exact (the rescue unit was there right away I was told, as they were on standby at the football field) I was unconcious at the time. The emergency folks took good care of me, lifeflight was cancelled as I became concious & was transported to Cobb. Thanks again to all who serve in that capacity. Since then I have had a significant near miss at the same intersection. There as well as Nebo and 61 are places that have SERIOUS auto injuries and even deaths almost yearly. How many deaths does it take to equal a traffic signal in this town...I have often wondered? Link to post Share on other sites

I don't know, but our friend's daughter lost her life at that intersection, and left behind a young daughter. Link to post Share on other sites
rednekkhikkchikk Posted October 8, 2007 Report Share Posted October 8, 2007 Isn't there a brand new traffic signal at that intersection, complete with cameras? Link to post Share on other sites
Blondiega1 Posted October 8, 2007 Report Share Posted October 8, 2007 Isn't there a brand new traffic signal at that intersection, complete with cameras? Yes there is. Been through there a thousand times myself with no problems. Link to post Share on other sites
DALLASGIRL0618 Posted October 8, 2007 Report Share Posted October 8, 2007 Yes there is. Been through there a thousand times myself with no problems. Me too. I live really close to that intersection. I go through it several times a week, and have no problem. That intersection is one of the least of my worries. Now I agree with the one at Nebo and 61. I used to live right there, and would not be able to get home many times because of accidents there. Link to post Share on other sites
AustinPlantation Posted October 8, 2007 Report Share Posted October 8, 2007 Several problems at intersection include the unmarked phantom turn lanes left by dot into nowhere and folks wanting to turn left onto Nebo from the gas station meeting folks turning right from Dallas Nebo going North onto Nebo going East.

DarkLadyMorticia Posted October 8, 2007 Report Share Posted October 8, 2007 I was mistaken regarding the location from the initial post *duh!* My accident was Dallas Nebo & Hwy 61. Sorry I was not paying attention... I PROMISE I am more focused when behind the wheel! Link to post Share on other sites

Teatime Posted October 8, 2007 Report Share Posted October 8, 2007 We live very close to nebo and 61 .. I cannot believe they haven't put a light in there yet. I can't count how many accidents I have seen in the last 5 years. Link to post Share on other sites

I can't count how many accidents I have seen in the last 5 years. Hello everyone...I live right at the intersection of 61 and Nebo. They put those flashing yellow lights in my yard. I work for an engineering firm and I design highways....there will have to be a lot of work done at this intersection. It's called limited sight distance. They will have to cut down that hill so far and make major improvements to the gas station and other driveways in the area. There has been petition after petition signed and nothing done (except for the caution lights) They (Paulding County) are just waiting on the GDOT to do something because Hwy 61 is a state maintained road.
