Local traffic to increase as new semester starts at WVU Tech
As students and employees
return to WVU Tech's campus, university administrators want to alert the
community to increases in vehicle and pedestrian traffic on and around
campus.
This weekend, new students
and their families will be moving into campus residence halls. Local travelers
should be aware of the increase in traffic and watch for sudden stops as
families move in and out of loading zones.
Classes officially begin on Wednesday, August 21, which will mark a much larger
increase in traffic for the area.
The WVU Tech community asks drivers in the area to use extra caution while
traveling along S. Kanawha and Church streets this year. Last year, the main
roads adjacent to campus saw a number of motor vehicle accidents and
"near-misses" with pedestrians.
University police will be enforcing the speed limit and the Beckley Police
Department will post a speed monitoring system on S. Kanawha for the first week
of school.
