During the busy winter months, is it hard for you to turn left onto these roads?

If and when we sell our house in Virginia, we will come to TV to look for a house. We have been looking at houses on the internet and trying to determine how we would drive from a house to the local neighborhood and village pools. Sometimes that would involve turning left onto a 4-line road like Hillsborough, which will probably get even busier as Pine Ridge and Pine Hills grow and people use that road to reach Brownwood.

Is that something to be avoided during the busy season?

I don't think "hard" is the right word. Like everywhere else, this place gets busy. With increased traffic you might have to wait for an opening in traffic to make the turn. I live off of Warnock, and there can be times when turning onto Hillsborough requires a wait for the various cars, work trucks and golf carts to pass through. Other times there is no traffic at all. We too moved from Northern Virginia and when I hear people complain about all the "traffic" around here I laugh. I think back of my beltway trips and I66.
