a better trip out of johnston county

Published Jun. 11, 2008

Things certainly moved along more smoothly out of Johnston County this morning! 

We saw slow traffic from about 6:45 a.m. to 7:15 a.m. on I-40 West near the Bypass, but it cleared quickly and the ride was a smooth one.

One of my DOT contacts says yesterday's delays stemmed mostly from folks learning the new traffic pattern.  Another factor: A couple of breakdowns on the side of the road created some onlooker delays. 

Which brings me to you.  We didn't hear about those breakdowns yesterday morning.  When you run into a delay in an unusual spot or spot an accident or breakdown causing problems, give us a call at 1-877-PILE-UPS.  That's our traffic tip line, and it helps us provide more accurate, timely traffic reports on WRAL-TV, WRAL.com, Mix 101.5 and 99.9 the Fan!

Since the new Clayton bypass has opened traffic on 40 from Hwy 42 to Hwy 70 has been completely stop and go every morning. As far as I can see the only thing the bypass has done is take a big part of the traffic from 70 and put it in the middle of the traffic that was already on 40 and all of that traffic merging into traffic on 40 has caused it to stop and caused a huge headache.

I am so glad it has helped the commuters. It has surely made a difference in the traffic regular 70 that I use daily, but mercy it has created a mess on ranch and boiling road. I travel that road e daily and I couldn't believe the difference in the traffic coming off that exit heading towards Clayton. I got behind all kind of lost people yesterday. I'm sure when they learn the road better things will smooth out....I'm glad for you folks who drive it everyday to work and I'm glad it helped the old 70 so I can get to wal mart ( 2 miles) without getting bumper to bumper jams......
