2951-2963 Henderson Mill Rd Atlanta, GA 30341, USA - DeKalb CountyThis intersection is frequented by middle-schoolers going to Henderson. When Evans Road has a green light and the pedestrians have a walk signal, cars do not stop for the pedestrians. Solution could be an intersection with a pedestrian island when peds would cross the right turning lane first and then wait for the signal to cross Henderson Mill.

3162 Shallowford Rd Ne Chamblee, GA 30341, USA - ChambleeFor 8 months, this intersection was working well at triggering the signal when a bicycle was waiting to cross Shallowford on Beverly Hills. The sensitivity must have been reprogrammed because it no longer picks up my bicycle.

Pedestrian/bike/car Hazard ArchivedOn Chamblee-Tucker just east of exit ramp. - DeKalb CountyNew gas station opened with entry/exit very close to beginning of merge lane onto Chamblee-Tucker. Curb-cut is wider than normal to facilitate cars turning at higher speeds, creating a pedestrian hazard. Exit is located so close to the merge lane (where vehicles are instructed not to stop), that it is impossible to pull out without potentially cutting someone off, creating a hazard for drivers.
Bicyclists are threatened as cars engage in unpredicable behavior.
A solution would be to have all vehicles exiting the freeway stop at the intersection. This would also facilitate safer pedestrian crossing of the exit ramp. -
Corner Of Dresden And Chamblee-Tucker - DeKalb CountyThe design of this intersection is not safe for any user. The east side of Dresden ends farther south than the west side of Dresden. If you're in a car, you can't see traffic coming from your left because the of the shubbery on the west side of Dresden, so you have to inch out into the traffic lane just to see.
If you're pedestrian, you have to cross at an angle and cars making a right turn can't see you and driver's on Dresden tend not to stop before the crossing area.
If you're on a bicycle, it's just a combination of both problems -
Conflicting signs Open3395 Northeast Expy Ne Chamblee, GA - DeKalb CountyFor cars exiting I-85 northbound and heading east on Chamblee-Tucker there is a crosswalk (in which they must yield to pedestrians) but there is also a sign stating "Keep Moving." So the pedestrian expects the car to yield because they're in a crosswalk, but the Keep Moving sign encourages them not to stop.
