US Highway 278 near Powder Springs
Beware! Hwy 278 through Powder Springs has been designated a "Work Zone" from the US 78 split to Sailor’s Pkwy (GA 176). The work has not reached Oglesby Rd as this is written but signs and barrels are off to the side of the road which no doubt gives the Powder Springs PD extra incentive to patrol this road heavily to take advantage of the increased fines.
As a side note, the speed limit through Powder Springs on Marietta Street from New Macland through Brownsville Rd has been dropped to 25 mph. While a low speed limit is not a bad idea in this area, it appears to be enforced rather overzealously at times even if it means officers blocking entrances to churches and businesses during operating hours to run laser. The 25 mph limit also means that the 10mph allowance isn’t valid, so if someone is having a bad day you could potentially be pulled over for doing as little as 2-3 mph over the limit. I’ve rolled by cops doing 30 and was not stopped, but this is just a fair warning.
