NC 6 was an eight-mile (13 km) North Carolina state highway. It ran entirely in Guilford County and served primarily to connect I-40 and Business I-85 commuters in Greensboro. It was decommissioned in 2005.

Route description

The western terminus of NC 6 was at I-40 in west Greensboro. From there, NC 6 traveled at 45 mph (72 km/h) as Patterson Street to Patterson's only traffic signal at Holden Road and then at 35 mph (56 km/h) to Patterson's end at the Greensboro Coliseum. NC 6 then turned left and followed High Point Road onto Lee Street. NC 6 had an important intersection with O'Henry Boulevard (US 29/US 70/US 220) where it picked up a lot of traffic between the US Highways and I-40 east of Greensboro, its eastern terminus.
