54 <br /> Existing Infrastructure - Deficiencies <br /> There are multiple issues related to infrastructure deficiency and traffic issues that warrant <br /> improvement, create safety hazards, and prevent children from walking and cycling to <br /> school safely. Key weaknesses, barriers, and obstacles include the following: <br /> — Richmond Road connecting to Fuller Road is currently 45 mph. <br /> — There is limited school zone signage along Fuller Road entering the school from the east <br /> where Fuller Road connects with Tinnin Road. <br /> — There are multiple two-lane roadways that pose safety barriers for school-age cyclists <br /> and pedestrians. <br /> — There are no pedestrian or bicycle facilities found on adjacent roadways.Table <br /> 2.9 summarizes key locations where insufficient infrastructure creates barriers to <br /> pedestrians and bicyclists. <br /> Table 2.9: Key Infrastructure Gaps at Orange High <br /> Poad Orientation Gap <br /> Fuller Road Both sides No sidewalk or bike lanes <br /> School House Road Both sides No sidewalk or bike lanes <br /> Tinnin Road Both sides No sidewalk or bike lanes <br /> Richmond Road Both sides No sidewalk or bike lanes <br /> US 70 Both sides No sidewalk or bike lanes <br /> Key Crossing Issues <br /> The following crossings are barriers to safety and prevent children from walk and cycling to school <br /> safely: <br /> Fuller Road and US 70 (Map ID 1): Fuller Roads ends at US 70 as a stop sign-controlled intersection. <br /> Due to high speeds coupled with high traffic volumes along NC 70, this intersection is very difficult <br /> for pedestrians to cross.There are no sidewalks or pedestrian crossings at this location. <br /> Fuller Road and School House Road (Map ID 2): Fuller Road and School House Road meet at a stop <br /> sign-controlled intersection.The dense vegetation at this intersection creates a blind corner when <br /> turning left onto School House Road from Fuller Road and when turning onto Fuller Road from <br /> School House Road, making it difficult for pedestrians to cross safely.There are no sidewalks or <br /> pedestrian crossings at this location. <br /> Richmond Road and School Side Entrance (Map ID 3):The side driveway of Efland Cheeks ends <br /> at Richmond Road as a stop sign-controlled intersection.The speed limit on Richmond Road is 45 <br /> mph, making it difficult for pedestrians to cross safely. In addition, cars coming off of US 70 may be <br /> travelling quickly.There are no sidewalks or pedestrian crossings at this location. <br /> Safe Routes to School <br /> Orange County,North Carolina 52 <br />
