Well they use both as thru ways, but Georgia avenue is narrow, and because the town is historic, it cannot be widened.  People own right up to the road, and in some instances part of the road.

Similar to 108 through the town of Laytonsville (actual town limits).  It will never be widened. Speed limit is 30, it's next to a school, people walk every day, school buses stop to let kids off...and yet, county residents (and large trucks) think they can go 50+ through a tiny town.   [b]This is why bypasses are needed. [/b] I recognize the need for commuters to get to their locations, but their time does not negate the safety of the people who call these historic towns home.[/quote]

Or speed cameras, which is the solution the Town of Barnesville used. Much more cost-effective and much less environmentally destructive than a bypass.[/quote]

They have had speed cameras in Brookeville since at least seven years ago.

It's obvious you don't live in this particular area. Or navigate the almost 90 degree turn on Georgia thru Brookeville. [/quote]

That's not remotely true at all  :roll: [/quote]
