- Salem Parkway Transitions: The exit ramps for the Innovation Quarter and downtown can experience sudden surges during morning business hours; visual confirmation of actual ramp queues is essential.
- Silas Creek Congestion: As a primary suburban arterial, Silas Creek Parkway experiences intense localized gridlock near the Hanes Mall area; check these intersection cameras before weekend shopping trips.
