This area of north of Warsaw was once very congested. Highway US117 running through the town was once the main highway leading to Raleigh for folks traveling from the south. Due to the additional of I-40, the town has been mostly bypassed. Many business along the outer sections of US 117 through town have closed. There is very little traffic in this area of town anymore. The town’s 35 MPH limit seems painfully slow when traveling in and out of town on the northern end. Motorist are tempted to exceed 35 MPH limit, especially when exiting the town. There are plenty of places for the cops to hide in this area due to abandon business. Plus the slight curve the highway makes it difficult to see approaching cruisers, until it is too late.
