Pinehurst is an affluent and historic golf town hence trucks contribute to noise pollution. This is likely the reason the sign is up. Most golfers along #2 golf course would not be too pleased of trucks screwing up their game. |

Unlike the Isle of Palms Connector (SC 517) with a non-travel center lane, there is no reason a center turn lane should be there since there are no places to turn at except at the roads mentioned here next are marked with turning lanes. |

Note the black holes on the doubleline. Plastic poles were originally there in 1999 to avoid people making U turns from the choronic daily backups approaching the circle. The NO LEFT TURN sign indicates the at-grade for Avienmore Drive. |

Today was a good day to film this highway since the wait to the circle is minimal. It can get as bad as backing up before the Page Road signal. |
