Of course no one will sit in traffic, they follow their GPS's and end up on Haywood Road. But there are no detour signs or arrows or anything in the neighborhoods filled with out of state cars
That is all we ask, some signs, some direction. A little care for a neighborhood which DOT will ask to suffer even more if their insane 8-lane highway project goes through.

Why would any one who knows how to get around in Asheville take a 12 mile detour to go a mile??

Because that mile is filled with people from out of state who THINK they know how to get around?

Wouldn't the I40 exit at Smokey Park be a better way to go?
