Person High School students Brooke Allen and Chris Buchanan cross Carver Drive near the upper driveway to the school. Roxboro City Council next week will hear a request from the school for installation of a crosswalk and warning sign near this point in the wake of recent accident which a student was struck by a car while crossing Carver Drive.

Accident spurs appeal for
crosswalk near PHS - 3/5/08

By TIM CHANDLER, C-T Associate Editor

Roxboro City Council will hear a request for a crosswalk and caution sign near the intersection of Carver Drive and Ridge Road during its regular monthly meeting on Tuesday, March 18, at 9 a.m. in council chambers at City Hall.

The meeting is being held at 9 a.m. on March 18 in conjunction with Local Government Day.

The request for the crosswalk and caution sign surfaced after a vehicle struck a 15-year-old student at Person High School last month as the student attempted to cross Carver Drive on foot.

Person High School Principal Margaret Bradsher said that she would introduce the request at the March 18 city council meeting but that a PHS student would make the actual presentation.

“It came as a concern from a student after the child got hit [last month],” Bradsher explained. “The student will do the presentation.”

Just before 7:45 a.m. on Feb. 5, a student walking across Carver Drive was injured when struck by a car that was eastbound on Carver Drive. Roxboro police filed no charges in the accident, explaining that the driver of the car had the right of way and was traveling within the posted speed limit when the student crossed in the path of the vehicle.
