RALEIGH, N.C. -- Thousands are expected to come to Wednesday's march and rally for education in Raleigh, but this march will play out differently than most.

The N.C Association of Educators posted on their website that demonstrators must stay on the sidewalks of Salisbury and Fayetteville Streets when marching. This contrasts with prior marches which could actually march in the middle Fayetteville Street, including The March For Our Lives on March 24 and the NAACP's Moral March on Feb. 10. 

Additionally, the rally after the march will be constrained to the Bicentennial Mall, which sits between the North Carolina Museum or History and the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences.

Many of the demonstrators expected to come are traveling to Raleigh from outside city limits by car. They're expected to use downtown's parking ramps to park, but some of the workers who normally park on the ramps don't seem to mind the extra crowds.

"Considering the climate in the rest of the country and the success teachers have in fighting for more pay and more resources for their students, I think it's long overdue," said Janice McLaughlin, who works downtown.

Raleigh Police also have no plans to close any streets ahead of the march.
