I was going to an event in Holly Springs Saturday afternoon but took a wrong turn on 55 and ended up in Apex around Beaver Creek Commons Shopping Center. The volume of traffic on the surrounding roads and long waits at traffic lights was really surprising. Is that amount of traffic typical in that area or did I happen to catch it on a particularly bad day?
No different than Falls of Neuse or the North Raleigh traffic.. Makes apex seem tame
I'll have to disagree with you there. This was very different and was way worse than anything I've ever experienced in North Raleigh on a weekend. North Raleigh has it bad traffic for sure, but even the worse spots are much much better on the weekends.
You must have hit it at a particularly bad time. The volume can be high at times, but generally moves pretty well. That one light where the major street of the shopping center meets 55 can back up a bit but usually clears the waiting line of traffic on each cycle; not always but usually.

Just wait and see overdevelopment ruin more of this area every year as we welcome people and businesses whose only good is for the real estate industry profiting from new residents who bring infrastructure needs as their only contribution to our area. Thanks to our disgusting legislature, we will soon create a new Long Island with all of its overpricing and problems. Then the companies and residents who were lured here will bail out to ruin another now nice area just like they are now escaping the tax traps they currently enjoy.
Long Island was once a decent middle class area. Look at it now for a warning such as Ebenezer Scrooge received in the famous movie.
This can still be stopped with the right vote in 2016.

The problems on Long Island are almost exclusively due to
1. high taxes due to unfunded mandates (civil servant salaries and lifetime Cadillac benefits). This is a problem throughout NY State, but it's worse on LI where people have been brainwashed into believing they actually have a voice with the school budget votes.
2. The fact that it's an ISLAND - which means no manufacturing operations don't want to set up shop there because of the exorbitant cost of shipping.
YOU NEED TO STOP HIJACKING THREADS AND BRINGING THEM BACK TO YOUR OWN TIRED SONG. YOU ARE ALWAYS ASKING WHY PEOPLE DON'T "STAY AND FIGHT" WHEN THEY WANT TO DO WHAT YOU DID. WHY DON'T YOU DO SOMETHING ABOUT WHAT YOU PERCEIVE TO BE THE PROBLEMS HERE?! YES I AM SHOUTING AT YOU.
I was down there around 2 p.m. it was fine. You must have hit leftover traffic from the street closures.
That must have been it. I've only been to Apex a handful of times and never experienced anything remotely like this before so I was hoping it was a fluke and related to a special event ... Sounds like that was the case.
