CARY, N.C. -

While crews study a Cary intersection to determine if it should get a stoplight, transportation experts are trying to get folks to slow down there.

Thursday, NCDOT workers installed several signs near Green Level to Durham Road and Cary Glen Boulevard.

The orange and black signs caution drivers that there's an intersection coming up, and have a suggested 35 mile per hour speed limit.

All the new signs are on Green Level to Durham Road as cars approach the intersection from both directions.

The Town of Cary has also made some changes, installing a "traffic sentry," a stationary machine that measures speed with radar.

The device is on the north-bound side of Green Level to Durham Road, and for the moment it is not displaying speeds to drivers because it's collecting data instead.

The intersection is the site of a deadly hit-and-run accident last week.

16 year old Kailee Birdsong died after the car she was riding in was clipped, and rolled over several times.

Police are still looking for a tan or beige van or SUV they believe took off after the wreck.

Anyone with information should call Cary Police at (919) 469-4012.
