Fatal accident leads to traffic pattern changes in Forsyth County

Drivers can expect a change in the traffic pattern in south Forsyth County as transportation officials temporarily close a left hand turning lane.
 
Residents complained after a fatal accident at the intersection of Highway 141 and Callaway Court in January
 
A traffic study by the Georgia Department of Transportation concluded that by partially or fully closing the median crossing conflicts would make the area safer, but a traffic signal would not be necessary.
 
The change was made Wednesday morning and will remain for a month until officials can get feedback from the public.
 
At that time, they will decide if the change should become permanent.
