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!

Brian in the morning newscasts your map doesn't include 55 East south of Route 1. 55 from Holly Springs to the Route 1 onramp is congested most mornings (to varying degrees). Is there anyway you can have sensors added here?

One spot that just irritates me is the merge from 440 outter loop onto Wade Ave. It is a traffic cops play ground. They are always out there and hiding in waiting at the exits below the Edwards Mill Road area. You are merging from a 65 mph zone down to a 55 mph zone back up to a 65 mph zone to merge onto I40. How many people have to die at that I40 merge area before someone realizes that 55 mph merging traffic into this 65 mph zone (many going much faster) is a dangerous mix and is deadly? The area of Wade Ave going past the RBC Center needs to be a 65 mph zone.

Build540.com, I wish we had some sensors and/or cameras on that part of 55. The DOT controls the sensors and decides where to put them. I'll check around to see if they have any plans to add equipment there.

Quick question... maybe been asked. Over the past week or so I've been caught in backups that were the result of closing down one lane on US1 South right after the Western Blvd. exit. They are doing construction on one of the bridges on seemingly random days at hours that are far too close to rush hour for comfort.

The problem is they're there without warning. They were there yesterday and two days last week. I can't remember which. If I knew in advance I'd adjust my commute to account. Will they be there today? Why can't they work at night or other low volume hours like most projects on major thoroughfares?

Good question, jbtilley! I haven't seen a press release to alert us about that work.

Brian, there was a nasty wreck involving a motorcycle Friday Sept. 4 at Cary Parkway and High House in Cary. I haven't seen any notes about it in any media outlet. Can you help find any information about this? Thanks

Hey, Traffic Guy (aka Brian), what in the HECK are they doing to US Hwy 13, between I-95 and Wade-Stedman Road in the Wade area??

Ok, I'll go ahead and ask this here...

Am I the only one that can't see any lines on the beltline when it's raining and the sun hasn't come up? They are absolutely invisible to me. The solid white line on the right, the dashed lines, and the yellow line on the left. Nothing. I'm surprised there aren't more accidents than there are!

Maybe my eyes are just too old.
