Editing Fuquay-Varina, North Carolina (section)

====Roads====
Two state routes and one U.S. route run through Fuquay Varina.  All three routes occupy part of Main Street in the main business district in town, and each goes in a different direction outside of the main business district.

*[[North Carolina Highway 55|NC 55]] enters the town from the northwest, entering the town from [[Holly Springs, North Carolina|Holly Springs]] and forming the main route through the [[Varina Commercial Historic District]], one of the former towns that merged to make Fuquay-Varina.  After meeting the other two routes, the three share North Main Street before NC 55 and NC 42 leave US 401 at the northeastern corner of town.  The two routes share pavement only for a few dozen yards before NC 55 splits to the south and heads towards the unincorporated community of [[Kennebec, North Carolina|Kennebec]] and from then on to [[Angier, North Carolina|Angier]].
*[[U.S. Route 401|US 401]] enters the town from the south, after traveling through northern [[Harnett County, North Carolina|Harnett County]] from [[Lillington, North Carolina|Lillington]].  Forming the main thoroughfare through the [[Fuquay Springs Historic District]], one of the former towns that merged to make Fuquay Varina, following South Main Street.
