NC Roads

Let me just tell you how much I hate the roadways of NC!! For an area known for the engineers, the roads in Raleigh do not make any sense and are next to impossible to navigate. Today I had graduation at a local high school in Cary (suburb of Raleigh). The address for the school that I was given was not found on Mapqust nor was it found on my GPS. I used an address that was close by thinking that I would get close enough to the school. Well no such luck. It turns out the road I was on (McCrimmon Pkwy) is the worst road to navigate on the face of the earth!! The road literally comes to a dead in some places, zig zags in others, and has no rhyme or reason to it. Unfortunately I ended up on the "wrong" side of McCrimmon and was unable to navigate to the other side. You see, there is literally a section of road missing (see map below!). I never made it to graduation...even after I spent a hour and half driving around. Both my dad and Ryne tried to help me find my way but we were unsuccessful.



So my question is this? Why would you design a road that you cannot navigate? Just to stay on McCrimmon you need to make a series of turns and take other roads. Even though you may not be lucky because you could end up like me and hit the "dead end." Man do I hate the roadways of Raleigh!!!
