A public meeting was held at Talking Rock Town Hall after an initial Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) public hearing on December 15, 2015.  Citizens and businesses in Talking Rock, Georgia are concerned that the proposed improvement will limit access to the Town of Talking Rock, Georgia, as well as businesses along Antioch Church Road.

The proposed improvement is needed to reduce the crash frequency and severity along the SR 515 corridor at CR 250/Antioch Church Road. The RCUT intersection reduces the conflict points from 48 (conventional intersection) down to 24, while further reducing the crossing conflict points from 24 to 4. 

The proposed plans call for the installation of a Restricted Crossing U-Turn intersection on SR 515 at Antioch Church Road. A Restricted Crossing U-Turn, or RCUT, intersection is an intersection design that restricts left turns at an intersection, but allows the same movement downstream via a U-turn. It is characterized by the prohibition of left-turn and through movements from side street approaches as permitted in conventional designs. Instead, the RCUT intersection accommodates these movements by requiring drivers to turn right onto the main road and then make a U-turn maneuver at a one-way median opening 400 to 1,000 ft. after the intersection. Left turns from the main road approaches are executed in a manner similar to left turns at conventional intersections and are unchanged in this design.
