Gwen Road Both sides No sidewalk or bike lanes <br /> Key Crossing Issues <br /> The following crossings were noted in the 2013 Safe Route to School Strategic Action Plan. <br /> They are still barriers to safety and prevent children from walk and cycling to school safely: <br /> Orange High School Road and US 70: Orange High School Road ends at US 70 as a signalized <br /> intersection. However,due to high speeds coupled with high traffic volumes along US 70, this <br /> intersection is very difficult for pedestrians to cross.There are no sidewalks or pedestrian <br /> treatments at this location. Orange High School Road provides the primary access to the <br /> school,so any student walking from US 70 must utilize this intersection.Students living south <br /> of US 70 will have to cross this very busy 3-lane roadway. <br /> Gwen Road and US 70: Gwen Road ends at US 70 at a stop sign-controlled intersection. Due to <br /> high speeds coupled with high traffic volumes along US 70,this intersection is very difficult for <br /> pedestrians to cross.There are no sidewalks or pedestrian treatments at this location. <br /> N Scotswood Boulevard and US 70: N Scotswood Boulevard provides access to the Churton <br /> Grove Community, a 330-acre residential area. Scotswood Boulevard currently ends at US 70 at <br /> an unsignalized intersection.There are no sidewalks or pedestrian treatments at this location. <br /> High traffic speeds and volumes along US 70 make this intersection difficult for pedestrians to <br /> cross. Due to the lack of east-west connectivity in the Churton Grove area, many of the <br /> students living in this community might choose US 70 as their preferred route if walking or <br /> bicycling to school. <br /> NC 86 and NC 57: NC 86 and NC 57 meet at a signalized intersection northwest of the school. <br /> Students living northwest of the school may choose to use this intersection to access the <br /> school from Holman Drive.Traffic volumes can be high during the peak hours.There are <br /> currently no sidewalks or pedestrian treatments at this location. <br /> Orange High School Road and Orange Middle School Entrance:This unsignalized intersection <br /> provides primary access to the school.Although speeds are not high during arrival and <br /> dismissal times due to the school traffic, there is a significant amount of traffic at this <br /> location. Currently,there is a short section of sidewalk and one curb ramp along school <br /> property but no pedestrian crosswalk. <br /> Orange High School Road and Harold Latta Road: Orange High School Road meets Harold <br /> Latta Road at a stop sign-controlled intersection.Students living in this neighborhood may <br /> choose to use this intersection to access the school via Orange High School Road.There are <br /> currently no sidewalks or pedestrian treatments at this intersection.
