Confusing Georgia Signs on I-75 Replaced
After a year-long study, the National Transportation Safety Board last year found that the faulty and confusing signs which caused the deadly bus crash at I-75 at Northside Drive in Atlanta have been replaced by the State of Georgia. As one safety expert put it, the former confusing road signs were "potentially a killer."
In addition to replacing the signs, the State of Georgia settled with the victims and their families for a total of $3 million, which is the maximum exposure for a single accident that the State of Georgia has in these situations. In the deadly crash, the driver of a charter bus carrying a college baseball team mistook the exit sign for the I-75 throughway and exited the highway ramp at highway speed. Not realizing that the bus was now on the exit ramp, the bus driver continued through the exit ramp, rammed a concrete wall, jumped the bridge and landed back onto I-75. The crash caused 5 deaths and numerous other severe injuries.
