Inbound and Outbound Traffic Plan

Duke and Durham police have developed pregame and postgame maps to get people to and from available parking as quickly as possible. Officers will be positioned at access points to facilitate an efficient traffic flow. DOT message boards along the Durham Freeway, Hwy 15/501, and I-85 will provide suggested routes to campus based on up-to-the-minute traffic conditions. Additional parking information can be found on Duke Athletics' game day site.

Rideshare/Taxi Services Access

Rideshare and taxi services have a designated drop-off/pick-up location near Science Drive Visitor Lot three hours prior to kickoff.  The drop-off/pick-up point must be accessed off of Science Dr. at Coach K Hwy/751 Hwy due to game day traffic restrictions. Services attempting to drop-off/pick-up at other locations near the stadium will be denied access and directed to this location.

For more information about traffic, parking and game day policies, visit the game day website.
