I just don't understand why they insist on having 2-way traffic on Edwards Mill and Trinity (at least the section between Youth Center and Edwards Mill! The arena basically sits on an over-sized city block, and "most" people are able to get around downtown on one-way streets so why not here? There should be no left turn onto Edwards Mill from east bound Trinity. The entrance from Blue Ridge is only slightly better but once you get in line (non-VIP) it sucks just as bad. The worst is watching the people with no tag go down the wrong lane and then get ushered into the correct lane ahead of the rest of us waiting patiently. Getting out is an even larger mess only because all the main arteries are choked by the insistence on having two-way traffic. Again Trinity should be one-way with the origin being at Youth Center. Meaning that you can go right, left or straight onto Youth Center, coming out of the gravel lot; without having to worry about oncoming or cross traffic. Same at the Edwards Mill exit. At the Blue Ridge exit, you can only turn left. Now, nobody has to stop and traffic is free flowing (once you get out of the actual lot). This all seems so simple to me (an engineer) and thus, gets me so worked up every time. Thanks for letting me vent!

Both the ingress and the egress from the RBC Center/Carter-Finley lots are borderline ridiculous. The traffic patterns differ on a game-by-game and sport-by-sport basis. Even those of us like me who attend all three sporting events at the complex are continually baffled by the ever changing traffic patterns. If a common sense plan like you've proposed is consistently implemented, I have no doubt that traffic jams and driver frustrations will decrease dramatically.

With it, maybe RBC will fill up before the puck drops. Lots of people cruise in late when I go to games it seems.
