Now that’s something I haven’t seen before! 🚘

Did you know Georgia's first railroad crossing roundabout was built right here in GDOT's east-central district?

In 2019, a roundabout was built in Washington County at State Route 242, Waco Mill Road, and Hospital Road using GDOT's quick response program. Four guard arms monitor access as trains cross. Compared to the previous configuration of this intersection, the roundabout has improved traffic efficiency and increased safety.

Metric highways signs? That's right, in the mid-1970’s the metric system was promoted across the country as the preferred system of weights and measures. In response, WisDOT placed destination-distance signs with metric units along several interstates. Locations included I-94 westbound in Milwaukee and I-90/94 eastbound in Tomah.

The metric system was never adopted in the U.S. By the early 1990’s the metric signs were replaced with signs using today’s imperial system.

Do you think the U.S. should have used the metric system?

As we begin a new school year, our buses are back on the roads each morning and afternoon, safely transporting students to and from school. 🚌

We’d like to share an important reminder for our community to stay alert for school buses, flashing lights, and students along your daily route. Please take a moment to review the information in the graphic below about when and where drivers are required to stop for a school bus.

A few extra seconds of patience can make ALL the difference in helping keep our students safe. Thank you for doing your part to help protect our students as they travel to and from school each day! 🖤💛🐺
