down a hill off river road, that makes it a lot tougher. this is a cut-through to get to a back parking lot at whitman high, so a lot of students, a lot of staff, even school buses use that, but as you take a look this is river road headed toward the beltway. cars will come over a hill at a posted speed of 45 miles an hour, and, of course, we all know that cars don't always obey the posted speed. they go a little faster than that in some cases. we're still not exactly shufer what happen sure what happened in this case. as a car here tries to make a left-hand turn, it can present a pretty tricky situation. >> of what does the state highway administration say about this today? >> reporter: the state highway administration had been told back in 2008 from residents in this community that they were concerned about this particular intersection. this community here has been asking for a traffic signal, some sort of safety device here at this intersection. today the state highway administration said that they would come back out here and do

but they say they have made changes here to the intersection as you try to make this left turn to get to pyle road and whitman high. >> and, adam, you have great sources with transportation officials. i mean, what else, if anything, could be done to make this intersection safer? >> reporter: so one of the things, chris, that the community here talked about is a way to just get rid of the left-hand turn altogether. how would you do that? say you extended the median and connected these two places right here. you would lose your cut through and lose the way to the back parking lot at whitman high, but you completely take away that left-turn possibility and the possibility that there could be any collision between a left-turning vehicle and the cars coming down river road. we'll see if any of those changes make their way here. >> thank you, adam. turning to the weather, it's been pretty nice out there today, but is this going to last? >> is the clock ticking already, doug? >> you know that. you know it can't be this nice
