During October 2011, the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) conducted a “Roadway Review” with a randomly recruited sample of North Carolina residents and community leaders. Over 300 persons from 61 different communities participated in Roadway Reviews that were held in six locations: Wilmington, Charlotte, Rocky Mount, Burlington, Asheville, and Jonesville. The Reviews were completed during both daytime and nighttime hours.
The purpose of the Roadway Review was two-fold: (1) to determine expectations for the condition of North Carolina highways and (2) to identify features that North Carolinians think are most important on different types of highways. Results of the survey are provided about each of the roadway features evaluated.
