Crabapple Road gets its first red light at Green Road on Thursday

If you drive Crabapple Road, Thursday changes your commute. The new traffic signal at Green Road is set to go live July 30, per GDOT message boards that went up late last week, and for the first time Crabapple Road traffic can catch a red light there. Flashing yellow may show up in the days before full activation.

The signal is a GDOT safety project built in collaboration with the city. Until now, Green Road drivers faced a stop sign and had to judge their own gap in Crabapple Road traffic to pull out. Once the light is active, the signal does the judging. Give that intersection extra patience the first week; a brand-new stop where nobody has ever stopped takes some getting used to.
