The intersection of Sturdy Rd. and Rt. 30 is especially dangerous. It is very difficult at night to see students crossing Rt. 30 northbound (returning to campus). A collision with a car going southbound on Sturdy and turning right onto 30 is a real possibility. A lot of cars barely slow down when making that turn, even when the walk sign is on.
