New 'Florida T' Intersection In Place At McGinnis Ferry, Sargent Roads

JOHNS CREEK, GA -- Johns Creek’s latest Florida T intersection at McGinnis Ferry Road and Sargent Road is now operational, and drivers are advised to take note of the new traffic pattern and only turn left when in the left turn lane.

Motorists traveling west on McGinnis Ferry Road through the Sargent Road intersection can continue without having to stop. Motorists in the left turn lane will either have a red signal, a flashing left turn signal, which indicates yielding to oncoming traffic, or they will have a green arrow that provides them with the right way.

The first Florida T in Johns Creek, which was installed in 2009, is at Old Alabama Road at Buice Road. The idea behind the Florida T design is to provide more continuous and safer movement for traffic. However, as with most new traffic patterns, it is important that motorists remain alert and aware of the rules of the road to help improve safe operations, the city added.

As always, please refrain from using a smart phone while driving and remain patient with those learning a new traffic pattern. Johns Creek officials will continue to monitor the new traffic pattern and make adjustments as needed.
