๐Ÿ›๏ธ Retail accessibility and customer convenience
โ€ข
๐Ÿšš Employee and service vehicle mobility

๐Ÿ’ฐ Long-term investment appeal

The same report also noted that Raleigh, Durham, and Fayetteville rank among the nation’s leaders in hard braking, highlighting growing congestion and stop-and-go traffic as the region continues to expand. ๐Ÿšฆ
