In addition,the crosswalk is located <br /> next to the left-turn lane out of the school,creating potential conflicts for turning traffic and <br /> pedestrians crossing. <br /> St Marys Road and E Tryon Road: E Tryon Road ends at St Marys Road at a stop sign-controlled <br /> intersection. E Tryon Road meets St Marys Road as it comes out of a curve, creating a <br /> dangerous location for pedestrians.There is a sidewalk on the south side of E Tryon Road, but <br /> no pedestrian crossings at this location. <br /> St Marys Road,Cameron Street,and E King Street:St Marys Road,Cameron Street, and E King <br /> Street meet at a stop sign-controlled skewed intersection. Due to the unusual geometry of this <br /> intersection, is very difficult for pedestrians to cross.There is a crosswalk at E King Street and <br /> sidewalks along both sides of E King Street,the west side of St Marys Road, and the west side <br /> of S Cameron Street. <br /> Safe Routes to School <br /> Existing Conditions Analysis 54 <br />
