Description:
US 1 is an expressway from Charlestown to Wakefield. MTR contributor Mitsguy2001 reports
on what the highway is like:
"A section of US 1 in southern RI seems almost like a freeway, with right in / right out ramps, and no traffic lights. However, it has no overpasses, and it allows U-turns. To do a left turn from US 1 to a side street, you must pass the side street, do a U-turn (signed as a left exit), merge across the other side of the road (difficult and dangerous), and exit. A similar procedure is used to turn left from a side street to US 1."
RI 4:
RI 4, which is otherwise a freeway, has 3 signals near the southern end. At the southern end, it flows into the 4-lane US 1.
