BELMONT, N.C. — The City of Belmont plans to use $25 million from the federal government to improve road safety near schools.
The city says it will add high-visibility crosswalks, more lights, and signal upgrades on eight corridors and five intersections that link four schools.
Officials reported a deadly crash, four serious wrecks and 19 pedestrian and bicyclist crashes in these areas between 2018 and 2024.
