I wish GDOT would do something to make the side-by-side entrance/exit ramps safer. It's too easy for someone to turn into an exit ramp, thinking they're on an entrance ramp.
I think they should take the money collected from the GA 400 toll and use it to place grates on the ramps. Whereas if someone were to enter the off ramp the grates would blow out all four tires. That would save lives and the "drunk driver" would be apprehended saving police hours and revenues are collected for the city/county as well as sales for new tires.
