[edit] Route description

The western terminus of NC 6 is at Business I- 40 in west Greensboro. From there, NC 6 travels at low speeds as Patterson Street to the Greensboro Coliseum, passing through numerous traffic signals. At Patterson Street's end at the Coliseum Complex, NC 6 turns left and follows High Point Road for a short while before curving right onto Lee Street. Passing near the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, NC 6 travels through downtown Greensboro crossing O'Henry Boulevard (US 29/US 70/US 220). Just after leaving downtown, NC 6 comes to its eastern terminus at Business I-40/Business I-85 (exit 41/old exit 128).

In the episode "Barney's Sidecar" of The Andy Griffith Show, Highway 6 is mentioned as passing near or through Mayberry.
