Improvement of lighting, reduction and enforcement of speed limits, and efforts to eliminate roadside parking were cited Monday by WCU Business Mvi.iger James E. Kirkpatrick as pari of a University program to increase safety on Secondary R;><d 1169 (DicksGap Road) on and south of the campus. The thoroughfare has been the scene within recent weeks of two automobile accidents, both occurring just off the University campus. In one, a WCU freshman student was fatally injured. Kirkpatrick said the University has installed an additional street light on the southern edge of the campus. It does not have authority , he said, to poet lights beyond University confines. The University is asking the State Highway Commission to reduce the speed limit on N.C 107-A between the University's southern edge and N.C. 107 from 35 to 20 miles per hour. It also, according to Kirkpatrick, is working with the State Highway Patrol to increase enforcement of the speed limit in that zone. Kirkpatrick said the University is contacting property owners along the route to encourage the provision of off-street parking facilities. He noted that numerous automobiles now are, parked along the roadside. This has the effect of reducing the width of traffic lanes.
