Crosstown Traffic

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.

Parking gets more expsensive, for some folks, at RDU

Bookmark and Share

Parking rates will change at Raleigh-Durham International Airport, starting Wednesday.

Parking in the daily section of the RDU garage will go from $1 to $2 per hour until the daily maximum rate, unchanged at $10, is reached after five hours.

Parking in the hourly section will be unchanged at $1 per hour, with a daily maximum of $24.

That means the hourly section is less expensive than the daily section for stays of up to 9 hours.

RDU wants to encourage more travelers to use the hourly section -- to provide more space in the daily section for travelers who leave their cars for more than a day.

The park-and-ride lots will move to a flat rate of $6 per day, eliminating the old $1 hourly rate.
