From Emory Report: The new roundabout in Emory Village is allowing vehicular traffic to flow slowly but smoothly through the busy North Decatur Road, Oxford Road and Dowman Drive intersection, which was once a five-point intersection and lengthy traffic light.  But the new traffic patterns – for motorists, cyclists or pedestrians – have raised questions about who yields to whom, and who has the right of way.  With pedestrian safety in mind, Emory is sharing safety tips for navigating a roundabout (PDF) from PEDS, an Atlanta-based pedestrian advocacy organization.  [Read more]

WSB has a comprehensive list of road problems here: http://www.wsbradio.com/news/news/traffic/latest-wsb-24-hour-traffic-cen...

Georgia Power says to wait 24 hours before reporting outages: "Following a severe storm with widespread power interruptions, customers should wait a reasonable amount of time before calling to report an outage. There's no need to call within the first 24 to 48 hours. The company knows where the power is out because its automated system alerts a technician when a line goes off. As the restoration progresses, Georgia Power will announce through the media if residents in specific areas should call in if they're still without power."http://www.georgiapower.com/storm/pofaq.asp#q4

As of 9:30 a.m. the site indicates that the outage on N Superior was known, a crew dispatched, but no estimated time to restoration of power.
