Description

I fell from my bicycle into the roadway going north on the right side of the road here because of a 3-inch gap going from grass shoulder to roadway. The WakeMed Apex ER nurse said she alone had seen 3 other people have similar accidents in the same place (which I described to her as N Salem just north of Apex Peakway). At a minimum, the shoulder needs to be brought up to the roadway level and maintained that way.

This road is popular for bicycles and cars alike. It is part of US bike route 1. It would do very well to have a bike lane for northbound if not also southbound.
