Peachtree City police are warning motorists they are targeting drivers who obstruct intersections, particularly at Ga. highways 54 and 74.

Officers will be "taking appropriate enforcement action" on motorists who block the intersection, officials said. Such incidents appear to occur more frequently during the evening rush hour between 5 and 6 p.m., police said.

Police noted they have received numerous complaints about vehicles blocking the 54/74 intersection.

According to Georgia code 40-6-205, a green or yellow light does not control a motorist's right to enter an intersection if there is not room on the "other side" of the intersection for the vehicle.

Specifically, the code states that drivers may not enter an intersection "unless there is sufficient space on the other side of the intersection to accommodate the vehicle he is operating without obstructing the passage of other vehicles or pedestrians, notwithstanding any traffic-control signal indication to proceed," police noted.

Police will monitor the intersection and "take appropriate enforcement action in accordance with Georgia law," officials said in a recent news release.
