Traffic headed for these <br /> destinations would make a right turn out of Cornwallis Hills. The <br /> left turning traffic would go to Hillsborough and north Durham. <br /> • <br /> It is our feeling that ultimately majority of traffic would right <br /> turn out of development because more urban areas are available via <br /> 1-40. It is speculated that as high as 75% of traffic using development <br /> could go in this direction. <br /> If we can of of any further help in this matter please advise. <br /> Sincer iy, <br /> J .
