GA 400 shoulder lane - Take 2

ATLANTA -- Apparently, the new mode of cutting down on traffic congestion being used by the Department of Transportation looks to be a success.

After the first day of allowing commuters to utilize the southbound GA 400 emergency shoulder lane for regular traffic, DOT officials are pleased with the results. Officials surmise that they'll need to pay attention to the Northridge Road exit due to extra congestion, in that area. 

However, during the Tuesday morning commute the DOT will use electronic message boards to make sure everyone is clear of the flow of traffic.

Submitted by Paul Crawley, 11Alive Reporter

ATLANTA -- GA 400 commuters are getting a bit of a break, at least on a five-and-a-half-mile stretch. 

PHOTOS | Riding along GA 400 shoulder

As of 6:30 a.m. Monday, southbound drivers are able to use the right shoulder lane from Holcomb Bridge Road down to the North Springs MARTA Station exit as an extra travel lane. 

Georgia DOT workers were still putting up new signs on Tuesday, some taped over, to advertise the new lane and the fact that it will only be legal from 6:30 to 9:30 a.m. Monday through Friday.

The DOT has had plans for just such an extra lane for years, but Commissioner Keith Golden said they never became reality until Nathan Deal became governor.
