Walk at your own risk?

Greensboro is not the only city in the state with pressing concerns about pedestrian safety.

That probably comes as no surprise.

What may surprise you is that one of those other places is Chapel Hill.

The News & Observer of Raleigh reports that the state's most famous college town saw three fatalities this week involving people being hit by vehicles.

Chapel Hill hadn't had pedestrian killed by vehicle since since 2002.

Incidentally, one of the accidents involved the Boston College team bus, which struck and killed a bicyclist on the way to Thursday night's game against Carolina at the Smith Center.

A cyclist hadn't been killed in Chapel Hill since before 1997, the News & Observer reports.
