Why Conyers Sees So Many Serious Accidents

Conyers sits at the crossroads of Interstate 20 — one of Georgia’s busiest east-west trucking corridors — and several high-traffic state routes including Highway 138 (GA-20) and Covington Highway (US-278). That combination of heavy commercial truck traffic, commuter volume, and older two-lane roads creates conditions that lead to hundreds of accidents in Rockdale County every year.

In 2022, there were 9 fatal traffic accidents in Conyers resulting in 9 deaths and involving 15 vehicles. Three of those fatalities were pedestrians. In 2023, there were 5 fatal accidents with 5 fatalities. While the number dropped, that still means families in our community lost loved ones on local roads — and for every fatality, dozens more people suffered serious injuries that changed their lives.

The 5 Most Dangerous Roads in Conyers, GA

Our attorneys handle cases involving accidents on these roads regularly. If you were injured on any of these roads, we can help:

1. Interstate 20 (I-20)

I-20 runs directly through Conyers and carries massive volumes of commercial truck traffic between Atlanta and Augusta. Multi-vehicle pileups, rear-end collisions at congestion points, and tractor-trailer accidents are common — especially near the Highway 138 interchange and during rush hour. A serious crash on I-20 near Highway 138 in October 2024 shut down all westbound lanes, and a head-on collision between a tractor-trailer and a car at the SR-20/SR-138 and Sigman Road intersection caused a 100-gallon diesel spill.

2. Highway 138 / GA-20

This state route intersects with I-20 and carries heavy local and commuter traffic through the heart of Conyers. The intersection with Sigman Road is a known hotspot for collisions due to high speeds and heavy turning traffic.

3. Covington Highway (US-278)

Running from Conyers through to Decatur, Covington Highway is one of the most accident-prone corridors in the area. The intersection of Covington Highway and Panola Road saw 207 accidents in 2022 alone. This road sees an average of 19 wrecks per month at its most dangerous sections.

4. Oglesby Bridge Road

Winding turns and limited sight distances make Oglesby Bridge Road a frequent site of single-vehicle accidents. Drivers unfamiliar with the curves — or driving too fast — regularly lose control, especially in wet conditions.

5. Maple Street

Potholes, faded road markings, and poor visibility make Maple Street one of the most hazardous roads within Conyers city limits. The lack of clear signage and road maintenance creates conditions ripe for accidents.
