New River Current: Sunday, April 20, 1997

• AROUND NEW RIVER
• LETTERS MOTORISTS' FAILURE TO HEED SIGNS ENDANGERS LIVES AS A RESIDENT AND A SCHOOL BUS DRIVER IN CHRISTIANSBURG, IT REALLY BOTHERS ME WHEN I SEE MOTORISTS' LACK OF REGARD FOR STOP SIGNS AND RED LIGHTS IN THIS TOWN. I HAVE NOTICED LATELY THAT AT SOME RED LIGHTS, THREE OR FOUR MOTORISTS WILL RUN THE LIGHT AFTER IT TURNS RED. TWO OF THE LIGHTS WHERE I SEE THIS THE MOST ARE AT DEPOT AND COLLEGE STREETS AND AT ROANOKE STREET AND THE U.S. 460 BYPASS. NOT WHEN IT IS YELLOW, BUT AFTER IT IS RED.
