Excerpt from Thoroughfare Plan for Dare County, North Carolina The economic development of a region can be greatly influenced by how efficiently the transportation system handles travel demand. If the system fails to provide the means for quick and convenient transportation of people and goods, the region's economic growth becomes stagnated and fails to reach its potential. It is necessary that such a system not only meet existing travel demands, but also that it keep pace with the development of the region. This report will set forth a system of thoroughfares to satisfy the anticipated traffic and land development needs of Dare County for the next twenty years. In the development of the system of thoroughfares, certain priorities shall be established based on maintenance needs, inadequate bridges, poor horizontal and vertical alignment, and insufficient present and future capacity.
