GDOT Ramp Meters Project is Coming to the Perimeter

Ramp meters have been used effectively to reduce traffic congestion in more than 20 cities nationwide for more than 20 years. Recent studies show the effectiveness of ramp meters in reducing congestion, travel times and accidents.

Ramp meters are essentially traffic signals located on freeway entrance ramps, designed to reduce disruption to interstate traffic by controlling the flow of merging traffic and alleviating bottlenecks. Benefits of ramp meters include:

   
• Reduce back-ups on the interstate caused by merging entrance ramp traffic
   
• Reduce congestion-related accidents, such as rear-ending and side-swiping
   
• Decrease idling in traffic back-ups resulting in fewer vehicle emissions

This project is scheduled to start in 2008

In an effort to move traffic more efficiently and enhance pedestrian safety, the Perimeter CIDs is implementing a major infrastructure improvement package along Perimeter Center Parkway. The scope of the project contains upgrades to all intersections along Perimeter Center Parkway from Hammond Drive to Perimeter Center West. Upgrades will include:

• Redesign of pedestrian crossings, including ADA-compliant Ramps
• Enhance pedestrian signage
• Install pedestrian countdown timers
• Update intersection markings
• Improved signal timing
• Video detection
• Upgrade to decorative traffic signal poles and mast arms
• New sidewalks
• New bike lanes
• New landscaped medians
 

The overpass will be a four-lane divided roadway across I-285 from Hammond Dr. on the north to Lake Hearn Dr. on the south. The bridge will ease traffic congestion for thousands of area commuters by providing a north/south alternative to heavily-traveled Ashford Dunwoody and Peachtree Dunwoody Roads.

Improvements include: intersection redesign for pedestrian crossing and signal efficiency, medians, four-foot bicycle lanes in each direction, six-foot sidewalks in each direction, and pedestrian and street lighting.
