Construction Projects and Road Improvements Should Caution Douglas County & Douglasville Drivers to Avoid Auto Accidents

By Jack E. Clay

Douglas County, Georgia has grown substantially in recent years. For example, the addition of Arbor Place Mall to our area has encouraged businesses to set up shop for the growing population in Douglasville. Along with new businesses came the necessity for intersection improvements and other roadway upgrades.

Currently in Douglasville, there are numerous new traffic signals to be aware of as well as upgrades to existing signals. For example, the intersection of Chapel Hill Road near Douglas Boulevard and Arbor Place Boulevard has seen recent signal upgrades. Residents who drive this area frequently may not notice subtle changes and that kind of oversight can have dangerous consequences. Drivers need to be sure to drive with care and caution to avoid an untimely car wreck. Cobb County is also seeing new changes in construction. There is a new railroad bridge being constructed with additional sidewalks near North Church Lane. In my experience as an attorney, some of the cases I have handled over the years involve injuries sustained in an automobile collision where the at-fault driver?s failure to notice roadway changes caused an accident.
