Just be careful climbing the summit up to Summersville, the lanes get pretty tight in spots because of all the snow that's piled up and the passing lane disappears completely in one spot without warning. Some of the traffic lights are out along 19 as well. Other than that no problems.

What need to watch for going down 19 esp near Summersville is the cops. The speed limit signs jump from 55mph to 35 mph with in 15 ft of each other in places and the local PO PO uses that to their monetary advantage if you get me!!!! lol

heres a quote from wikiI got a speeding ticket in Summersville a couple of years ago. I was going 60 in a 55. I hate that town.
"Speed limit enforcement
Summersville, especially along U.S. Route 19, is well known as a speed trap. In 2001 the police department of Summersville issued 18,133 tickets. Because of this, the city has been seen on several network TV programs including CNN, CBS, CBC, and the BBC. As late as 2007, the National Motorists Association ranked Summersville as the worst speed trap in the state of West Virginia.[5] The city has been further seen in Money Magazine, USA Today, and dozens of local newspapers in the Midwest. Carnifex Ferry Battlefield State Park is near the town."
THATS NEARLY 50 TICKETS A DAY!
