Highway improvements
The Regional Transportation Alliance advocates for improvements to the region's arterial roadways that will provide mobility and safety improvements while meeting the needs of state, regional, and local travelers. The goal is to achieve a balanced solution from a community, regional, and statewide perspective for these roadways.
We recognize that certain widening, lane restriping and signal timing and phasing changes can provide immediate benefits to congested intersections along various highways and boulevards. When widening is not the preferred answer, we encourage work to seek alternative options such as innovative intersection treatments, like a “Quadrant” roadway, that keeps an intersection narrower which can benefit pedestrians, transit and drivers.

The RTA hosts task forces from time to time that specifically focus on intersection needs in the Triangle with cooperation with its transportation partners. In the summer of 2009, RTA Solutions Forum focused on intersection improvements around the region. In addition, the Alliance has focused during 2009-10 on the US 64 west corridor in Cary and Apex and in 2010 on the NC 54 east corridor from Chapel Hill to points east.
