North Carolina has been upgrading from the Virginia border South. From Virginia border to Williamston you will have no issues. A lot of open, smooth 4 lane highway with some small towns, traffic lights, but very rural. However below Williamston 17 turns into a two lane highway. At Old Ford it turns back into 4 lane highway. It switches back to 2 lane again South of Chocowinity. Then back to 4 lane at Vanceboro. Below there I have no experience. Haven't been further South than that since the 70s...Lol
