Abstract

Installation of a truck speed advisory system along SR 246. SR 246 is cut into the side of a mountain east of Dillard, Georgia. Because of hairpin turns and a 10% slope, there is concern that a head-on collision may occur. Several new warning signs with flashing lights will be installed near the North Carolina state line. A second set of warning signs will be installed near a scenic overlook. The signs will be controlled by underground cables placed beneath the shoulder of the road, between the mountain side and the pavement. All work will be within existing, totally disturbed, right-of-way.
