Parents and students hope the NCDOT will put up a traffic light at a Buncombe County high school’s entrance and exit.
The two intersections at T.C. Roberson cause long back-ups on Long Shoals Road, as well as travel lanes on campus. Left turns leaving the school require drivers to cross two lanes of fast-moving traffic. Students say they use a back road through campus rather than to risk that dangerous left turn.
NCDOT officials have not yet agreed to install a traffic light, but they’re working with the school on a traffic plan. That could include a wider entrance to the school.
