US 70- 1. GloRd should be for Lumley Rd or Westgate Rd (https://www.google.com/maps/@35.8986162,-78.7614712,3a,75y,295.9h,90t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1st6nMGh9SE-GMlKDRaBCdhA!2e0!7i13312!8i6656).
2. A point at TW Alexander Dr west of I-540 may be useful though I am unsure how much commuter traffic uses it.
US 70/NC 50- should have points at Timber Dr(major commuter route I used often when I lived near Garner for an internship with NCDOT) and Vandora Springs Rd (interchange).
NC 50-
1. FoxDr (Foxbury Dr) should be replaced by another point at Timber Dr. (personal opinion believes that NC 50 should follow the Timber Dr/Hammond Rd corridor into downtown Raleigh)
2. Jordan Rd (https://www.google.com/maps/@35.6403834,-78.6146194,3a,75y,237.4h,86.05t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1s_OcRXhJRwBp7r0og7cJcvw!2e0!7i13312!8i6656) (closed?) should be replaced by Ten-Ten Rd (https://www.google.com/maps/@35.6360184,-78.6135659,3a,75y,142.48h,88.94t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1s236gNnaYwVS2ZF9FNaP9zQ!2e0!7i13312!8i6656).

Never looked that closely at US 70 and NC 50, but this is right in my back yard.
- On US 70, I agree with #1 and #2. TW Alexander is a BIG commuter route. Hop off of 540 and take Alexander over to the Durham Freeway (NC 147) or vice versa. I can verify it has a lot of traffic. It will probably be an interchange in a few years as the NCDOT is talking about converting US 70 in this area to freeway.
- Heading up 70 towards Durham, the point labeled GeerSt is actually Cheek Rd at that interchange. Geer Street runs under US 70 between there and I-85.
- If you want another point on US 70 in Raleigh between I-440 and I-540, Lynn Rd or Millbrook Rd / Duraleigh Rd would be major cross streets to choose from. That's a long run between NC50_N and UmsSP.
- And very good points on US 70 / NC 50 through Garner about Timber Drive and Ten-Ten Rd which are both major city/county roads.

Marking solved
-
Unmarking as solved, the two TimDr (Timber Dr) labels for NC 50 have created a duplicate label error.

oops...fixed and in the queue

This one was partly my fault, but it may have helped if Hammond Rd made the transition to Timber Dr at US 70/NC 50 instead of at Mechanical Blvd to the north.
