Gaston’s wreck hotspots
The Gazette has a good article about problem areas and driving in Gaston County. Near the end of the article is a list of deaths in the county and statewide.
This is a concern, most of the deaths were attributed to alcohol as a factor. Speed was another.
A great community is made up of a lot of things. Please drink responsibly, and slow down.
A listing of local hot spots:
Park Street and Wilkinson Blvd;
Hawley Avenue and Wilkinson Blvd;
Nixon Road and South Point Road (HS intersection);
Central Avenue and North Main Street (the “point”);
Woodlawn and Belmont-Mt Holly Road (Belmont Abbey stoplight);
North Main Street and McAdenville Road (by Hawthorne Ford).

It’s been over 20 years since I actually lived in Belmont, but I imagine that those locations have always been a hotspot.
