They've run many a license check at the point on Trinity Road where it switches
between four and two lanes, just past the last gate of Carter Finley Stadium.  
(If you proceed west on Trinity Road, there is an apartment complex and an
unfinished extension of Edwards Mill Road there, along with Corporate Center
Drive and offices for First Union, Nortel, and Healthsource, among others.)
I've noticed that the checks tend to precede large events at Carter-Finley;
said event will be an afternoon or evening event, and there will be a two-way
check early that morning, perhaps around 8am or so.)

Having been stopped at those license checks, I can say that they weren't too
strict.  I was allowed passage without the benefit of a Raleigh driver's 
license (I still have my old one from before college), and I wasn't even asked 
for registration or insurance verification.
