From my perspective from the southeastern side of Sugarloaf Mountain, the roads are generally adequate, even with the minimal addition of anticipated residential development. There is a traffic management problem caused by commuters trying to avoid southbound I-270 in the morning and evening rush hours, especially on Thurston Road, Dr. Perry Road and Slate Quarry Road. Safety improvements and better traffic management could help with this problem.
