An intersection that has become infamously known for traffic accidents is undergoing a safety screening from the Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT). A GDOT spokesperson confirmed to The Covington News that a safety screening is taking place at the intersection of Lackey Road, Moore Road and State Route 36. This comes after two major traffic accidents took place there within the last month. “The safety screening looks at existing conditions (speed limits, controls, advanced warnings, etc.), traffic volumes, speed data,” the spokesperson said. “It mainly focuses on crashes and trends – looking at time of day, type of crash, etc. They also map out where previous crashes occurred within the intersection. “The safety screening will allow us to see if there are any immediate solutions that can be implemented relatively quickly for a low cost vs. a project – for example: trimming vegetation near the intersection, adding additional signage, or doing a quick response project.”
