High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! This road is the third to bear the NC 30 designation. The first was one of North Carolina's original 1922 state highways. As a multiple of "10" it was a major cross-state route, connecting Wilimington to the Virginia state line via Jacksonville, New Bern, Little Washington, and Ashoskie. In 1930, it was extened to South Carolina via Supply. When the U.S. Highways came in 1934-1935, much of it was replaced by US 17. It was rerouted several times in the late 1930's, but was fully gone by 1940. The remnants of the first NC 30 found in eastern Onslow County continue to serve as a key thoroughfare between Jacksonville and Unincorporated Onslow County; the road is known as "Old 30", "Old Highway 30", and "R.I.P. Road". The last nickname is pronounced as "rip road", where "R.I.P." is an acronym of "Rest In Peace". This name is a reference to the road's narrow width, sharp curves, low visibility, relative remoteness, and high speed limit; these factors combined make Old 30 one of the most dangerous roads in southeastern North Carolina.
