Did you shell out an extra thousand or two on your new car just so you could have a chic GPS navigation system?  Well, in the past you would have needed it in Raleigh, but thanks to a new proposal, navigating downtown Raleigh is about to get easier.

According to the Raleigh News and Observer, the city of Raleigh hired a consulting firm to improve signage and roadways throughout the city: "The firm, Corbin Design of Traverse City, Mich., proposed navy blue and white signs with an oak leaf motif to guide people -- in cars and on foot -- to downtown attractions and parking. City officials hope to have many of the new signs in place by the time the new convention center opens late next summer and are eager for public input."  Goodbye one-way streets - they are set to be converted to standard two lane roads in the near future.

If you were planning on getting lost here, toss out the GPS and instead lose yourself in the shopping, entertainment, restaurants, and nightlife that makes Raleigh so great.

Cary is a little ahead when it comes to excellent signage.  On all of the main roads, there are signs to tell you the name of the coming intersection; the streets are wide, well-kept and tree/flower-lined; and the speed limits are above reasonable.

No one wants to live in a city where you can't find your way. The leaders of our cities in the Triangle area care very much about making sure that everyone can get where they need to be as easily as possible.  Whether you are commuting to work, taking your children to school, or heading out on vacation, Raleigh is the place to be.  In fact, many newcomers say that Cary and Raleigh make them feel like they are on a permanent vacation.
