Photos or Street View images of Heavy Traffic

[tolbs17]

Typical Greenville Urban Sprawl traffic. Heavy development has been clogging up towards DH Conley High School (and the school is not open for enrollment next year), so they want to clog it up even more with houses and apartments. I've sat in this SO MANY times, and it's a headache. Widening of NC-43 is scheduled for 2029.

Fire Tower and Portertown Rd widening has no start date.

A courtesy photo of Greenville Blvd traffic near Landmark St looking east taken on October 18, 2017. NCDOT has no plans to widen this stretch as of right now. And even if improvements are being done to Greenville Blvd, it's all unfunded as of right now.

You do realize that a lot of us live in bigger cities/metros than Greenville, NC and see heavy traffic almost daily that it's not worth taking a photo of because it's such a common occurrence?

Yes but sometimes it's fun to post the worst traffic of all. Frequent backups, etc.

I find the orange sign on the right to be perhaps the most interesting part of that photo because the text is misaligned.

It's obviously a temporary construction sign and the road was being repaved during that time

Duh! They could still have done a significantly better job of putting the words on the sign, though.

Also... CONST?

Consternation? Constipation? Constellation?

Lol, could be a NCDOT thing for you.

I have been stuck in traffic in LA, San Francisco, Houston, Chicago, etc. 

But thank God I haven't been to Greenville cause that looks worse than any of them.

No need to keep this open.

More lanes means more fun

I lived in Greenville 20 years ago and was amazed at how bad the rush hour was for a town its size.  I could leave my office at ECU at 5pm and take forever to get home, or leave at 6pm and get home a lot faster.  Many large cities with freeway networks and beltways have well-known heavy traffic, but I was surprised at Greenville's spates of heavy traffic.

ECU and Vidant are the main reasons and the state didn't build projects to properly handle future growth so now we are stuck with this mess

True I've been stuck in San Francisco and Sacramento Traffic.
Note there is a section of I-80 from Fairfield, CA to Vacaville where it has to respond to both Bay Area and Sacramento commuters at the same time.
