Probably some stupid college kid or redneck on their cellphone.

Hit & Run involving a Black Tundra Downtown

I sure hope the owner of the Black Tundra parked on East Clayton around 11AM (1/18/2011) and near Pauley's, the wig shop, etc. comes here to vent about their vehicle being hit.

I also hope that the work truck that was parked next to them was there before they parked there and they...

This "vent" is what this site should be, at it's best. I commend you, poster. I wish I had info on this truck.

I grant you, it's funny to read all the idiots bitching about each other, but this has the potential to be a forum to help our town.

Jennings Mill/Atlanta Hwy

Will they ever put a light here? The intersection where Jennings Mill meets Atlanta Highway (across from Logan's and Olive Garden) is, in my opinion, one of the most dangerous in Athens. I guess it's probably not a big deal for people who don't live in this area, but dealing with it every day...

YES. There is only one light associated with both the Publix shopping center and the Bed, Bath, and Beyond shopping center, and it's the one at MItchell Bridge and Atlanta Highway. Getting in and out of that area is ridiculous, and people make asinine maneuvers there constantly. I feel your pain.

Baxter and Alps

Didn't we already have this discussion?

You can't go straight from the left-most lane at the intersection of Baxter and Alps. That lane is a left turn only lane. It is a PROTECTED left turn, FFS. So why is there always some jerk up front preventing everyone in the left lane from turning...

There is a sign on the light. "Left lane MUST turn left". Even though it is not the sign that is meant to be posted next to the light (the expected sign is "[left turn arrow] ONLY") it is there. Also, those who are headed straight to Baxter at that point are probably aware that there is only ONE through lane for each direction, so what are people thinking the lane assignment is? Left lane for...

Alps and Broad

Does anyone know why you can't turn left onto Broad Street/Atlanta Highway from Alps, like if you're headed toward downtown? I always thought it was weird and it's definitely inconvenient.

It was definitely not a recent change. It's been like that for decades.

Lets go ahead and add Scooter to the list!

A scooter pulling out in front of traffic during rush hour and then only being able to drive 25 mph? Get off of the roads! There needs to be some legislation or something about where those things can drive. Campus roads? Fine. State highways? No.

Sun, 08/08/2010 - 00:57

the existing legislation isn't enough? there are highways with such things as minimum speed limits and "no pedestrian, bicycle, motor-driven cycle" etc. signs

Bitchy Bicyclist on Sunset

I have no problem sharing the roadway with people who ride bicycles, let me make that perfectly clear. However, this morning, some rude woman on one this morning on Sunset Dr. decided to shoot me dirty looks and wave repeatedly for me to go around her. I wasn't even close to her, and was about...

I've had the same thing happen to me closer to campus too. I guess it's frustrating when people hover or tail you on a bike, but wouldn't you rather the driver be a cautious one than not? As a cyclist that has had one too many close calls in this town, I would much rather have someone follow me for a little bit and show they're aware of my presence, rather than have a wipe out because a car...

i hate motorcycles

just because your on a motorcycle, doesnt mean the rules of the road dont apply to you. and i think most of you forget that your motorcycle is alot smaller than my SUV, and sometimes hard to see.

once i was going down Atlanta highway in front of bestbuy. i was in the left lane, and a...

Cyclists are worse than bikers. I see them violate the rules of the road every day. Every. Day.

You know what? F--- all of you

I almost got hit twice: once because apparently turning into traffic in front of me is more important than waiting two seconds (there was no traffic behind me) and once because apparently the parking spot I was pulling into seemed like a better spot to this other driver than any other spot in a...

Heads up on 316

A shout out to the lady who let me know my gas cap was open. Thanks.

I know it's a small thing but I usually rant about bad drivers and I wanted to give some praise for once.

What's up with the most recent comment? Is it spam? Those links weren't there before and the comment has nothing to do with the topic.
