residents use said highway to travel from Franklin County to Wake
County for educational, employment, medical and many other
purposes on a daily basis;

County is congested because of the primary transportation role of said highway therefore constituting a danger and unnecessary inconvenience to the traveling public;

promise after broken promise year after year to have Highway 401
between Louisburg and Wake County widened both that as is often
true with the Democratic Party those promises remain broken and
unfulfilled;

it is in the best interest of the people of Franklin County for
