Crosstown Traffic

Crosstown Traffic is all about getting around in the Triangle. Bad drivers and traffic hassles. Gas taxes and transportation politics. Public transit and other auto alternatives.

The blog is maintained by N&O transportation reporter Bruce Siceloff, whose Road Worrier column is published each Tuesday.

This traffic is two-way. What do you think? Leave a comment or email Bruce with questions, links, tips or gripes.

New traffic flow should speed Carter-Finley departure after Saturday's NCSU game

Carter Finley Stadium parking mapFootball fans leaving Saturday's NCSU game with Murray State should watch out for officers who will be pointing to unfamiliar exit routes from some Carter-Finley Stadium parking lots.

The new egress routes should speed the flow and get fans home sooner, NCSU said today. The plan is intended to send all exiting traffic away from the stadium, and to avoid sending any lanes back into other exiting traffic.

Cars leaving Gate B will turn south along Youth Center Road, then right onto Hillsborough Street.

Cardinal Gibbons traffic will exit from the rear of the lot onto Trinity Road only, and not onto Edwards Mill Road. The NCSU veterinary college parking lot will empty onto Hillsborough instead of Blue Ridge Road.

West Chase traffic will be reduced from three to two lanes before it turns left onto Blue Ridge.

Read the detailed plan for all parking lots here.
