A couple months back we posted about dynamic speed display signs that were proposed—and later approved—along part of Holly Springs Road.
Cobb DOT is proposing another set of the flashing signs—designed to get you to slow to the actual speed limit—along the entirety of Mabry Road.
It’s an agenda item before the Cobb Board of Commissioners, which is meeting at 6 p.m. Monday, instead of its usual 7 p.m. Tuesday evening meeting, because of the holidays.
The Monday meeting takes place in the second floor board room of the Cobb government building, 100 Cherokee St., in downtown Marietta.
It’s also the only business meeting of the month for the commissioners, who will have their usual monthly zoning hearing Tuesday at 9 a.m.
The Holly Springs Road flashing signs, those proposed for Mabry Road are because enough traffic is traveling at least 10 mph above the posted speed limit of 35 mph to warrant the warning signals (details here).
The cost is not to exceed $6,000 for the two flashing signs, which will be posted in both north and south directions.

As a Loch Highland resident, I welcome an effort to reduce the hills influence on speed to help us exit onto Mabry Rd more safely.
We cannot allow these narcissistic politicians to create East Cobb Cityhood and ruin what we now have. They offer nothing but controversial financial projections and another layer of administrative costs padding their own pockets! I hereby request my real property located in 30062 be excluded from any proposed Cityhood!
