Neuse River Greenway Trail Raleigh, North Carolina -
Wake County
I was trying to commute using the Neuse River Greenway to my work on the NCSU campus, but this bridge across the Neuse near the Mial Plantation parking area was impassable. My (legal for greenways) tricycle was too wide to pass through the car blocking posts. The federal spec for these is 5 feet post to post. Most of the newer Wake County greenways are built this way. I can easily pass between 4 ft posts so these must be closer to 3ft. That is close enough to cause real trouble if two bicycles try to go together between them (5 feet is not). Since I cannot use this bridge, I must go out on Shotwell Rd, and Old Baucom which have significant traffic.
