While they are there doing work on the railroad tracks, the Georgia Department of Transportation also needs to add a red light to that intersection. There have been way to many wrecks at that intersection, and I am afraid that someone is going to end up getting really hurt in one of those wrecks before Georgia Department of Transportation will do anything about it.

In case you did not know, the City of Auburn has been to Atlanta trying to fight to have a red light added there but since it is a state road, the Georgia DOT must approve it, and they do not see a need in installing a red light at that intersection.
