| 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.

Famous quotes containing the words wake, franklin, north and/or carolina:
“As long as skies are blue, and fields are green
Evening must usher night, night urge the morrow,
Month follow month with woe, and year wake year to sorrow”
—Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822)
“I should have no objection to go over the same life from its beginning to the end: requesting only the advantage authors have, of correcting in a second edition the faults of the first.”
—Benjamin Franklin (1706–1790)
“The North American system only wants to consider the positive aspects of reality. Men and women are subjected from childhood to an inexorable process of adaptation; certain principles, contained in brief formulas are endlessly repeated by the press, the radio, the churches, and the schools, and by those kindly, sinister beings, the North American mothers and wives. A person imprisoned by these schemes is like a plant in a flowerpot too small for it: he cannot grow or mature.”
—Octavio Paz (b. 1914)
“Poetry presents indivisible wholes of human consciousness, modified and ordered by the stringent requirements of form. Prose, aiming at a definite and concrete goal, generally suppresses everything inessential to its purpose; poetry, existing only to exhibit itself as an aesthetic object, aims only at completeness and perfection of form.”
—Richard Harter Fogle, U.S. critic, educator. The Imagery of Keats and Shelley, ch. 1, University of North Carolina Press (1949)
