NCDOT

Recently, two NCDOT innovations were honored by @aashtospeaks for advancing safety and mobility. 🏆 Our FYLD AI tool is helping crews spot hazards in seconds, and the world’s first superstreet interchange at I‑85 and U.S. 64 in Lexington is already reducing crashes by 40%.

Trout season began April 4. Have you gone fishing yet? DYK: We work with @NCWildlife to improve access to water for anglers across the state, including a new fishing access on U.S. 221 in Avery County.

@orangeneko Jennifer, we're looking into whether or not it has been reported as stolen.

@NCDOT there is a trailer from North Carolina that has been sitting abandoned in New York for a few months now. The police and community board here do not give a crap about it. I’m wondering if there’s a way for you to see if it’s reported as stolen or see who it belongs to?

@DGBoudreau @itsalireza_akb Please send this through our Contact Us portal. It will go directly to the maintenance crews in the area. Thanks! ncdot.gov/contact/Pages/…

Are you caught up with this week's headlines? - New Siemens passenger rail manufacturing facility opened in Lexington. - NCDOT employee gave the gift of life with a kidney donation. - Spring #LitterSweepNC starts Saturday. Catch up on #NCDOTNow youtu.be/wGXeI21IDGM

@PerdueWx This is it: bit.ly/47QCAGf The original reopening date had been April 10. It's now April 17. They need more time to complete the maintenance work at this site.

Hey @NCDOT why did you update the Tims of Old NC Highway 49 for the bridge repair or one of your crews that is working on it.

@AcctNactive Are you ok? We'll check on that!

@NCDOT Not far north of nc-73 Sam Furr, on 77nb, there is a sign for an overpass 14' 9". We are 15' 7" tall, permitted to go under, and did successfully clear. Please remove or update that sign because my butthole puckered so hard when I saw it I think I pulled a muscle.

Cannot stress this enough. You have one job while driving - drive. ⚠️ Put the phone down. Find a designated texter or text later. A quick glance isn't worth it. Our @GEICO Safety Patrol (IMAP) and everyone sharing the road appreciates your undivided attention.

Chad Ray's work in the equipment shop is all about keeping the machine's moving that keep the public moving. Ray's calling in the community goes a step further as he literally gave the gift of life to help save a member at his church.

@gato1828336 You may see it as a waste of time, but we see it as a fun, engaging way to connect. While the end result may have been predictable to some, there were some surprises throughout the process that can help us better connect to the public.

@NCDOT What a waste of time. Did you think it was even possibly something else?

After thousands of your votes over the last three weeks, driving a personal vehicle has emerged as the preferred method of transportation in NC, beating out 15 other choices. Competition aside, our goal is getting you to your destination safely however you travel.

@NMS_Screenshots Ha! Quite the talent!

I'm good enough with them, though I memorize everything with routes prior to trips (just use phone GPS to check traffic), but my late brother was a savant with maps and directions, I'm nothing like he was. He gobbled up AAA's TripTiks and was the navigator for our parents, even directed my mom through Chicago as a young kid. My dad noticed it first when he was a toddler and not very verbal - driving to our grandparents' home in Citrus County from the Tampa area, he saw that my brother's head would turn in the direction they would make before making the turn so he tested him by intentionally making some wrong ones, causing my brother to fuss and cry. 😯

@DamySoxfan @CharlotteDOT Apologies - we thought you were referring to Mecklenburg County since you tagged Charlotte DOT.

@NCDOT @CharlotteDOT You are wrong. It is a state mentioned road I got a response below via email from Engineer - faobregon@ncdot.gov Project details below: DJ00487, 2024 Cabarrus Resurfacing, Milling, Shoulder Reconstruction and Pavement Markings – 38 secondary Roads in various locations

@NCDOT @CharlotteDOT Illegal street parking blocking street on Montrose Drive NW . Storing construction vehicle illegally on road outside of work hours it’s been parked since Friday evening . USDOT # visible in the pictures.

@Clt_TrafficGuy The capable copilot conundrum. Understandable.

I love maps, but I don't always have a navigator who understands them.

@AmberLakeFarm Amber, Looking at this thread... Is there a specific road/county you are inquiring about so we can check with our division offices? We take your complaint seriously and would like to provide you details if possible.

The @NCDOT has a sign up they are closing the road “our” road from 4/6 to 4/10. No indication of what part of the road (it’s miles long). No idea why. Neighbors don’t know; we’ve talked. This is just a small reminder by the government that they own the roads. They feel we should be grateful we are allowed on them. In these government bureaucrats’ minds: “Shut up slave! Now get back to work so you can send us more money!”

Let's play a game. Next trip you take, turn off your GPS and hand your passenger a road map. Think they could navigate you to your destination? #ReadARoadMapDay
