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.
Oh! Deer! Did you hit one?

Deer hunters who use guns must wait until Oct. 17 in Eastern North Carolina (Nov. 14 in central counties) -- but for automobile drivers, deer season is under way.
Cars kill uncounted deer each year on North Carolina roads. And, since 2006, deer have killed 18 people in cars.
Fall is the worst season for deer crashes. Total crash numbers have declined on North Carolina highways in recent years -- but car-deer collisions have increased.
Have you had a run-in with deer? Please share your story. E-mail me at bruce.siceloff@newsobserver.com or call me: (919) 829-4527. Please include your name and contact info (home and work) so I can call you back.
Meanwhile, let's be careful out there. The UNC Highway Safety Research Center has good advice to help you steer clear of deer.
