d) Town/County/NCDOT Meetings Regarding Downtown Hillsborough Traffic The Town of Hillsborough and Orange County have met with North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) officials twice over the last month to review and suggest enhancements to the traffic signal timing, traffic signs, and traffic turning movement systems.
