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.

Every year the General Assembly makes inroads on cell phone use by drivers.  Now it's illegal for school bus drivers and for teens under 18 to phone while driving.

This year, along with a renewed effort to ban mobile phoning by drivers altogether, there's a strong new push to outlaw texting behind the wheel.

Do you text while driving? Do you think it's safe? What about phoning, whether hands-free or hand-held?

I'd like to hear your thoughts, and especially your experience.  Especially with texting.  Pls leave me a phone message with your daytime contact info at 919-829-4527, or e-mail me

Sorry, I don't text yet.
