Hey there,

NC Highway Patrol will be found on the NC VIPER system; you’ll need to program the sites and Troops that would cover the region you’re traveling through. Troop C covers Raleigh, for example.

Welcome to the area!

Here is the link to NCSHPs System: North Carolina VIPER Trunking System, Varies, Multi-State
Their talkgroups are grouped by district.

Make sure to choose the right district using the map here: https://files.nc.gov/ncdps/news-documents/SHPTroopdistrictmap.pdf
I think 77 runs through Troops E F and H. I dont know your route to raleigh, but we've got a P25 system as well separate from NCSHP on VIPER.

When programming sites for VIPER, you can select the closest sites using the map here: North Carolina VIPER Trunking System, Varies, Multi-State

Let me know if you have any questions, best of luck!

I77 does not go through Raleigh. To get to Raleigh I think youd spend more time on 40 in the state (or other highways) from 77 than on 77 going through. Hope that helps.

For the love of all that is holy, stay out the left lane when not passing. Ohioans drive through NC all the time and y'all seem to love camping the left lane all the ways to Florida.

Not to get snarky about it, but it seems to be VERY common with SC drivers. In fact, I once asked a SC native transplanted to NC about why SC drivers camp in the left lane (every time I've driven thru SC) so much.
His response: "Two words - *ss H*le"
