That's good to know. I've been to Charlotte a few times on business trips and everytime the traffic was bumper-to-bumper and more often than not, stalled on the freeway. I would hate to travel in that everyday. I guess I was just unlucky enough to always be in the wrong area! Typical for me! :o) There is a location in Greensboro where US 70 runs with I-85 through the infamous "Death Valley" area and just about every other road in town (it seems) meets there and it is a mess.
