This issue is currently being looked into by a Public Works Inspector. Updates will come shortly.

The City of Dunwoody has received this issue. It is registered as service request # 2374. Currently, we are working on this issue. Please check back for status updates.

This issue was used as an example in an email I sent to Public Works asking about improvements.

The City of Dunwoody needs to decide how they are going to address cross walk signage and the lack of cross walks. Signage around cross walks in the city widely vary with no consistency. The city may want to look at our new neighbor, the City of Brookhaven. Since their incorporation, cross walks have been added on several roads like Harts Mill and Ashford Dunwoody with innovative signage and islands to force drivers to slow down even if no one is waiting to cross. I have been complaining about the Andover cross walk and have requested for a new one at Binghampton with no luck for several years.

Thanks, I will swing through Harts Mill and look around on Ashford Dunwoody for their improvements.

I also like this one because cars slow when they see the different color.
Also- John I met up with Declan on our walk to school and read from his paper fortune teller!

Pedestrian safety is very important to the City of Dunwoody. Last year the city completed an assessment of all of its unprotected crosswalks and the final report can be found here: http://dunwoodyga.gov/ckeditorfiles/files/Projects/Sidewalks/Pedestrian%20Safety%20Action%20Plan.pdf . Improvements were completed at Chesnut Elementary and on Perimeter Center Place last year. This summer crosswalk improvements are planned on Mount Vernon, Womack and Tilly Mill at Binghamton.

There are a number of different signs and flashing lights that have been tried at crosswalk locations that are not protected by a stop sign or red light. The rate of driver yielding for most of the various treatments has been found to be less than 70% and even in the best cases the compliance rate does not exceed 90%. There are always going to be drivers that don't comply. That is why the city continues to conduct enforcement at crosswalks.

The signage and marking for the crosswalk meet all standards. Dunwoody Police continue to conduct enforcement at this intersection.
