Corridor Profiles - Thoroughfares
Thoroughfares are designed with the primary goal of providing mobility around Cary. They are designed with speeds between 35 and
55 miles per hour. Thoroughfares have between two and seven lanes. In general 2-, 4-, and 6-lane thoroughfares have a landscaped
median. 3-, 5-, and 7-lane thoroughfares feature a two-way le turn lane in place of a median. The following cross sec ons illustrate
typical thoroughfare profiles in Cary. Each cross sec on image contains a colored band on the le side of the image which corresponds
to where each profile is deployed on the Planned Roadway Widths Map.
