Residents protest for a safer Buford highway

Buford Highway is 50 miles long. It starts in Fulton County but runs mostly through DeKalb and Gwinnett counties. It’s also been a deadly highway for pedestrians.

Advocates and others are pushing the state to hurry up with safety improvements.

On the corner of Buford Highway, which has 7 lanes of traffic, and Briarwood Road, there’s a shopping center, a Citgo gas station and the Park Towne North apartment complex.
