The temperature will naturally go up whenever you're in traffic or not crusing at higher speeds, and when you really get on the car and run it hard, but I don't think I've ever seen my temp needle get dangerously close to that tick mark beyond the 180. Now that could of course mean that my gauges or off, or yours could be off, but there's nothing wrong with getting it checked out just to be sure.

As someone mentioned above, check that the fans for both radiators up front are turning on (they should both kick on when you use your AC, if one doesn't then that's a good indicator), but that's a good place to start. They blow hard and plenty of heat comes off of them if you place your hand under the bumper where they exhaust, so there won't be any mistaking whether or not they're on, you'll hear and feel it.
