What's Up With the Rea Road Truck Stop?

Hey  @NCSHP @NCDOT @NCDOT_Charlotte @RoyCooperNC

What’s up with the “makeshift truck stop” at I-485 Outer Exit 59 Rea Road?


The other morning at 6am, 7 tractor trailers were parked on shoulder one barely off the pavement. It’s been going on for months. This is a residential area fix this! 

And yes, it is unlawful:

Stopping, standing, or parking any vehicle on any part of the right-of-way of interstates and other controlled-access highways (except in the case of an emergency, as directed by law enforcement, or at designated parking areas) is prohibited by statute and, therefore, does not need to be ordinance (20-140.3, 5).

Traffic is bad enough without these big rigs blocking the shoulder and as you can see the directional signs.

    Meckurbia is a great place to voice your observations about corruption and problems around Charlotte and Concord. That is the only way that change and external investigations can happen, effectively. If you can’t handle the truth, then please go to a more censored news forum.

    Thank you and Merry Christmas.

  2. Sorry, I may be contributing to this. We are a tad short on Christmas cash, so I sent Tammy down to make a few ‘door dash’ deliveries this weekend. Seems she has a following now, and new clients. Once I get the truck note back current I’ll get her back to the just doing hair in the garage. Once those guys miss the midnight knock, they’ll find a new spot to park.

  3. 4:47 withstanding I'm with Cedar. I live in Waxhaw so Rea is my route of choice. At 3:30 both lanes back up most going south towards Waxhaw have to wait for the north bound traffic to clear. Used to be we could just straddle the breakdown lane and its right turn on red heaven.

    Back to Tammy do you have any pics?

  4. There was a fatality on that ramp within the past couple of years where a guy ran into the back of a parked 18 wheeler. Post Tammy’s tits or gtfo

  5. She’s trying to talk me into an onlyfans site instead of going out a working for cash. I got a great old lady, and lord bless, she’s willing to contribute to the household. I’m not gonna let her get tracked online when she can come home with a fistful of cash on that exit for a few minutes of love in each cab. She knows how much that Raptor means to me, and work slowed down this fall. That’s true love.

  6. Strategic Security Corporation is hiring guards if anyone wants to make a better life for your family and leave the city. Just trying to help.

  8. North Carolina DOT and SHP the bench mark for incompetence. They seriously think they are working hard to keep the public safe.
