Crossing Improvements
Randleman Road intersections with Florida Street and Terrell Street -- In May 2007, these intersections received pedestrian crossing improvements, including push buttons and countdown pedestrian signals. A FedEx grant, awarded to Safe Kids Guilford County, provided the funding.

If you're crossing where there's a push button, use it! Pushing the button gives you more time to cross the intersection when the signal changes. (Pushing the button, however, doesn't always make the signal change sooner because of how our traffic signals are coordinated.)
