I can see this working along most places in 440, and that would actually be pretty convenient and awesome!

Throwback to a suggestion I made [in a different thread a while back](https://community.dtraleigh.com/t/rail-line-to-fuquay-varina/201/116): maybe a Crabtree-North Hills BRT segment could be made more easily if you build it like that:

To be fair, though, I feel like that would also be the exception rather than the norm -simply because most places around interstates don’t seem to be dense enough to support on-ramp transit access. For example, if you were to put bus stops along 540 at Brier Creek, you’d still have to walk like at least a third of a mile before you’d get to an appreciable cluster of shops? Plus this would _feel_ even longer, because of how oversized all the buildings and interchanges are.
