Explore Around Raleigh (By Car, Bus, Bike, or Walking)

Raleigh is predominantly a driving city. You won’t find a train system here like in big cities such as New York City or Chicago, but otherwise getting around Raleigh is easy.

You either drive, catch a bus, call UBER or Lyft, or bike and walk (our preferred method in downtown Raleigh). 

As for traffic, compared to other cities that have horrible traffic like Atlanta or Los Angeles, Raleigh traffic isn’t too bad, depending on what you’re used to? 

But the area is growing and peak hour is the most congested time, especially on the I-440 beltline (which loops around downtown) and the I-40 corridor between Raleigh and Durham (and the Research Triangle Park). 

By Car

Interstate 440 (I-440) is also known as the Raleigh Beltline, the Cliff Benson Beltline, or simply The Beltline.
