NCDOT

Embracing innovation and smart solutions. The #HBCU Fellows and staff rode in autonomous shuttles at North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University and then met with Chris Spencer, Transportation Engineering Manager of the Greensboro Department of Transportation, to discuss the future of city transportation. #InnovationInMotion #NCDOT #HBCUOutreach #CityofGreensboro

In observance of #CrashResponderSafetyWeek, emergency responders across the country encourage YOU to DO YOUR PART toward enhancing roadside safety. If you see flashing lights on the side of the highway — PAY ATTENTION, SLOW DOWN, MOVE OVER and, give them room to work safely!

?? LARGE TRUCK DRIVERS ?? Using non-truck routes to cross the NC-TN border has consequences. More than 100 tickets were issued yesterday alone. The ONLY large truck routes to/from western NC are I-77 to I-81 or I-40 to U.S. 74. If GPS apps send you to other routes, don't try it. Doing so may lead to a ticket, getting stuck or even overturning.

Executive Order eases #NCDMV fees and requirements for those impacted by #HeleneNC Also on this week's #NCDOTNow: ?? All-way stops coming to many dangerous intersections ?? #CrashResponderSafetyWeek reminder: Slow down. Move Over. #Transportation #Safety

UPDATE: This workshop has been postponed. We'll keep you posted on any potential reschedules.

Amid #HeleneNC’s devastation on western N.C., here is one success story: More than 24 hours before the storm made landfall, NCDOT’s nationally recognized flood warning system correctly predicted a location of I-40 outside Asheville would flood. This alert allowed NCDOT crews in Buncombe County time to prepare and close the interstate before floodwaters dangerously topped the freeway, potentially causing serious crashes.
