Drivers should follow the sign and keep moving. Per our Traffic Department: We will not be adding anything that would prevent trucks from making the northbound right turn as we want to encourage trucks to stay off Sargent Rd, which is not a truck route. Southbound left turning vehicles that drift into any lane other than the inside lane are violating the law. The solid white line further emphasizes that motorists should maintain their lane.

I do not under why this was done BEFORE the widening of McGinnis Ferry Rd and Jones Bridge Rd.

Per our Traffic Department:
This project was completed to provide immediate relief as the widening project will not be completed in the very near future. The additional pavement will likely be utilized when the widening project is ultimately completed.

Motorists are to keep moving and should wait to merge until the solid white line ends and they have reached a safer/higher merging speed. Obviously, if motorists do not perceive an adequate gap, they should stop as the eastbound through traffic on McGinnis Ferry Rd has the right of way.

We will not be adding any barriers on the solid white line as doing so would restrict a truck’s ability to navigate the turn without tracking into the radius and potentially hitting the signal pole and traffic control cabinet. A larger radius was not provided as doing so would have required significant costs associated with the relocation of the signal pole and cabinet and restringing the span wires that supports the signal heads.

Motorists making the soutbound left from Brookwood are only legally entitled to the inside lane on McGinnis Ferry Rd. The solid white line further emphasizes that fact.
