We have a winner!
As a group, we're not very considerate drivers -- lack of lane discipline, failure to signal turns, failure to let someone in.
As long as 540 is part of the discussion, I'll add in some personal observations*
Many drivers fail to maintain their speed on 540 west as it rises from I-40 to Leesville Rd. This causes congestion. Same thing happens westbound as the road rises to Six Forks.
I think part of the back-ups at Falls of Neuse is caused by the fact that exiting traffic that will head north on Falls has to wait at a traffic light. If the exit had come after passing under the bridge, the north bound exit would wrap around and traffic would merge onto northbound Falls. Perhaps there was not enough room for this configuration.
More of the very long merge lanes would be helpful -- such as heading from Six Forks to 540 east.
