Description

The traffic light at Peachtree-Dunwoody Road at Windsor Parkway is too short for southbound Peachtree-Dunwoody traffic at the evening rush hour. Traffic sometimes backs up a mile up to the Glenridge Connector causing grid lock at the light at Glenridge Connector and Peactree-dunwoody. There are two issues. First, there is a huge number of cars making a left turn from Peachtree-Dunwoody South-bound on to Windsor parkway East-bound. The short left turn arrow here causes a large backup of cars at an intersection with a very short left hand turn lane to stack the traffic. Second, the traffic signal seems to give preference to Windsor parkway traffic which is never as heavy as the traffic on Peachtree-Dunwoody at this time of day. This traffic signal setup needs to be evaluated to allow better flow of the heavy South-bound evening rush hour traffic on this section of Peachtree-Dunwoody. After this intersection, the traffic moves very well.
