TRAFFIC ALERT: Going to the mountains?  Lookout for closures on the Blue Ridge Parkway!


about the daily commute

Hi, there.  I'm Brian Shrader, the On-Time Traffic fellow on WRAL News. 

I created this group as a place to talk about all things traffic!  Problem spots?  Annoying backups?  Ideas for the DOT?  Ideas for saving money on gas? 

Join our group, and let's talk!

hi brian i was just woundering if there is any reports about any flooding around granville county? i hope you have a good day..

Newwake, whenever you run into any unusual delays, please give us a call at 1-877-PILE-UPS. We don't have cameras along Capital Blvd., so we rely heavily on tipsters!

Capital Blvd. between Burlington Mills Rd. and Durant Rd. has been terrible the past few mornings. This morning it took 20 minutes to go 4 miles. I just moved to Wake Forest and can usually get to work on New Bern Ave. in 35 minutes. Now its taking around 45 to 50 minutes. Anyone know what's going on? Maybe school?

TY Brian for this mornings report on the 70 bypass jam. I took 70 buisness instead and was able to get into raleigh with little or no jams at all. Great Job !!!

Regarding traffic on Hwy 55 between Holly Springs and Apex…YES, the traffic dramatically increased about 3 or so weeks ago. It started on a Monday, like a switch had been flipped. It was almost as if school had started, though I know that’s not the case. Maybe it was one of those year round schools kicking in? It’s going to be a total nightmare when the traditional school starts. Don’t know what changed, but something did!

Hey, Cartab. Thanks for the interest.

My only experience with traffic before coming to work here was limited to avoiding it and dealing with it when I play Sim City on the computer.

I've lived here all my life, and I've worked in news here for 12 years, so I know the roads pretty well. That being said, this has been a learning experience! My spatial reasoning skills get a workout when I'm up there describing traffic problems on the map!

Brian,Did you do a lot of research on Triangle traffic before you worked at WRAL? Have you always been interested in such? It has got to be so hard to keep track of all of the roads and highways and byways around here.

Has anyone else noticed the huge increase of traffic on 55 from Holly Springs to Apex (and vice versa)? It's made my commute go from 30 minutes to 50. It's only been for the past few weeks. What's the deal?

Hi Brian. Just wanted to update you that 15-501 Northbound was still down to one lane this moring as repairs continued on the bridge at Cornwallis Rd. Slow commute again this morning! :-(

Hey Brian... Just wanted to tell you I think you do a great job with the Traffic.... sure is a BIG difference than the traffic we used to see back home huh??
