Figure 24 shows <br /> prominent crash locations in and near Mebane.Also shown in Figure 24 are the at-grade railroad crossings through <br /> Mebane.As volumes increase in this area,further protections for vehicles and pedestrians at the railroad crossings should <br /> be considered. <br /> 71 US 70 Multimodal Corridor Study Existing Conditions Report <br />
