Safety Action Plan

The Town is currently working with a consultant to create its first transportation Safety Action Plan.  The plan will take a comprehensive look at crash hot spots, speed limits and traffic calming infrastructure.  The year long planning process began in December 2023.  For information on how to provide input online and in person, visit the Safety Action Plan website.  

ShiftKnightdale: Comprehensive Transportation Plan

The Town’s Comprehensive Transportation Plan (CTP) presents a long-term vision for roadways, transit and bicycle and pedestrian facilities in Knightdale.  The plan was developed over a year long process which included extensive public and stakeholder outreach. The Town of Knightdale adopted the CTP on November 16, 2022. The CTP will guide the Town in pursuing projects to implement the long-term transportation vision.
