North Carolina Highway 6 (NC 6) was an 8-mile-long (13 km) North Carolina state highway. It ran entirely in Guilford County and served primarily to connect Interstate 40 (I-40) and Business I-85 (I-85 Bus.) commuters in Greensboro. It was decommissioned in 2005.
The western terminus of NC 6 was at I-40 and U.S. Route 421 (US 421) at I-40's exit 216 in West Greensboro. The interchange only allowed for eastbound I-40 / southbound US 421 traffic to enter eastbound NC 6 and vice versa. From there, NC 6 traveled east Patterson Street with a speed limit of 45 mph (72 km/h), having an interchange with Merrit Drive, then to Patterson's only traffic signal at Holden Road. It continued east to Patterson's end at the Greensboro Coliseum with a speed limit of 35 mph (56 km/h). NC 6 then turned to the northeast and followed High Point Road onto Lee Street. NC 6 intersected O'Henry Boulevard (U.S. Route 29 (US 29), US 70, and US 220). The state highway continued east bending slightly to the south before ending at I-40 and I-85 Bus. at their exit 224.
The entire route was in Greensboro, Guilford County.
