However, due to high speeds coupled with high traffic volumes along US <br /> 70,this 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 school, so <br /> any student walking from US 70 must utilize this intersection. Students living south of US 70 will <br /> have to cross this very busy 3-lane roadway. <br /> Gwen Road and US 70 (Map ID 2): Gwen Road ends at US 70 at a stop sign-controlled intersection. <br /> Due to high speeds coupled with high traffic volumes along US 70, this intersection is very difficult <br /> for pedestrians to cross.There are no sidewalks or pedestrian treatments at this location. <br /> N Scotswood Boulevard and US 70 (Map ID 3): N Scotswood Boulevard provides access to the <br /> Churton Grove Community, a 330-acre residential area. Scotswood Boulevard currently ends at US <br /> 70 at 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 cross. <br /> Due to the lack of east-west connectivity in the Churton Grove area, many of the students living in <br /> this community might choose US 70 as their preferred route if walking or bicycling to school. <br /> Orange High School Road and Harold Latta Road (Map ID 4): Orange High School Road meets <br /> Harold 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 currently <br /> no sidewalks or pedestrian treatments at this intersection. Due to the unusual geometry, pedestrian <br /> paths should be clearly defined at this intersection. <br /> Safe Routes to School <br /> Orange County,North Carolina 46 <br />
