Greensboro Traffic

I have to admit that the traffic in GSO is tame. I have lived in Raleigh, and drive through most of the metropolitan areas of NC on a regular basis. In Greensboro driving is not that bad..............however there are some areas I would have to nit pick with.

Death Valley, Where the Interstates 40 and 85 meet with Highways 29 and 421. I have gone through this spot for, honestly, fifty years now and it has never changed. Hence its name. The new highway has not helped this area a bit.

Downtown Greensboro, Always has been a confusion of one way streets. The worst part is the area around "Dog Days" and "Green Hill Cemetery". There is traffic coming at you in five different directions. At one spot when the light tells you to go, you better go fast because another light is telling someone else to go too in your direction. Completely survival of the fittest here.

Target Shopping Center on Lawndale, The four way stop here at Steak and Shake is treacherous. I missed the part in driver's Ed that told me what to do in this situation. Same goes for........

Target Shopping Center on New Garden, so many great stores, so few ways out.

Target Shopping Center on Wendover Cars coming at you from all directions.

Wendover from Norwalk Street to west to Penny Road. Your only hope here is to know what lane you are supposed to be in and get really lucky making the lights.

Merging onto 29N from Wendover There is an exit less than fifty feet away on your side, if the traffic is heavy the merging and exiting gets scary.

When Lawndale and Battleground branch off Another spot that has been too confusing for so many years.

And what is the deal with Traffic Circles? Was it necessary to create and confuse every one at N. Elm, Bass Chapel and Lake Jeanette Rds.?

Hill Street at Wendover The light goes from yellow to red in seconds. The site of my first and only Red Light Photo Ticket.

Most McDonald's drive throughs Pity the poor fool who thinks they are getting a great space by the door when the drive through line is behind them. The drive through people will not let you out because to their right is another entrance to will allow a car to come in a easily break in line.

As I said, been to other cities and these annoyances are quite tame.
