Spring St NW is missing half of its ONE WAY signs (Marietta: cost of, dangerous)

[montego97]

And nobody seems to care. Years ago they upgraded the traffic lights (suspended from poles instead of wires) and never put one way signs back up.

I've tried to draw attention to it, but to no avail. Figured I'd sign up on here and vent a little. Sick of people flying down Spring St. the wrong direction.

Off the top of my head, they're missing at 8th and Spring, Abercrombie and Spring, Biltmore and Spring, and probably many more. Seems important on a very busy street in Midtown.

Report issue to ATL 311.

The intersection at Biltmore appears to have two of them, unless they've been taken down recently.

Spring at Biltmore, less than 6 months ago.

But yeah, the other intersections do not appear to have any. That's a huge, dangerous problem. But, they will probably file your complaint in with the rest, the "**** you, we'll do it when we do it" file. It's almost like fixing a problem is admitting a mistake, and they can't let that happen.

Wish they had a map of reported things. But, "terribly-timed traffic signal" doesn't appear to be an option. I have a list of those I'd like to send in.

I just tweet or post a picture of my issues to their FB page and they respond with a SR #. Issues get fixed.

Save on the cost of the signs and just go ahead and convert it to a two-way street.

I like that idea.

At the very least, convert the portion south of Marietta Street. I use the entire length of the street, and I hope the rumors about it (and W. Peachtree) becoming two-way are true.

Yeah, it is in the plans downtown and sometimes in Midtown plans (depends on the document / seems to go back and forth).

I'm guessing this is in an effort to slow everything down?
