Roundabout is a good thing
Placeholder Image
I have read with interest the news item-"GDOT seeks solutions" in your issue of Feb. 17, in which the Georgia Department of Transportation is requesting comments from the public to their proposal for replacing the stop sign with a roundabout on the intersection of Highways 52 and 183 in Dawsonville to reduce the chances of accidents and making the intersection easier to go through. I have been living in Dawsonville since 2001 and have seen two intersections on Hopewell Road replaced with roundabouts, and can say with confidence that they have made those intersections much safer and easier to pass through without wasting time. Although I have hardly used the above intersection, maybe a few times in the last 15 years, I give my thumbs up for this proposal.
