| Location: | Wake County and Franklin County, North Carolina |
U.S. Route 1A in Wake and Franklin counties, is located north of Raleigh and in two separate segments.
The largest segment of US 1A initially branches off near the massive Wakefield development near Wake Forest and passes through that town, before crossing the Wake/Franklin County line into Youngsville.
A shorter segment passes through nearby Franklinton just a few miles north of the Wake Forest – Youngsville segment.
Both sections of US 1A are not to be confused with a US 1 Alternate in Moore County, North Carolina that was redesignated when its parent was moved to a four-lane limited-access expressway that bypassed the towns of Cameron and Vass in 2005.
