PEDS Demands Solutions

On April 20, 2010, we gathered representatives from Georgia DOT and 10 local transportation agencies to discuss — and experience — the problem of unsafe crossings to bus stops.

Unsafe Crossings to Bus Stops

See what people along busy Roswell Road have to deal with as they cross to and from bus stops. With high-speed traffic and crosswalks sometimes a mile apart, these folks have no choice but to risk their lives. Roswell Road is just one of many multi-lane roads in metro Atlanta lacking safe pedestrian crossings.

Sidewalks Aren’t Driveways!

MARTA contractors and employees use the sidewalks as driveways, and dodge pedestrians to get to their “free” downtown Atlanta parking. This violates Georgia law, busts up the sidewalks and endangers pedestrians. PEDS is working to end this practice.
