Title: NC: US 70 and NC 50 around Raleigh and Garner
Post by: Markkos1992 on July 26, 2018, 09:12:24 pm
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.

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

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.
