One Midtown neighborhood is having to deal with some unusual traffic problems while crews attempt to fix potholes on their road.

According to WSB-TV, residents say that the large metal plates along Monroe Drive near Greenwood Avenue are causing drivers to swerve onto the sidewalks, presenting an obvious danger to pedestrians; one neighbor told WSB-TV that going for a walk had turned into a real-life version of the classic video game “Frogger.”

The City of Atlanta tells WSB-TV that the road work will be done by the end of next week.
