Just a warning to be careful. The speed limits are way too low throughout the town, certainly not warranted by traffic or conditions. US 19 southbound suddenly drops from 45 to 20, and the first thing I saw as I rounded the corner was flashing lights (he had someone else). There's even a 4-lane highway posted at 20! Every speed limit is at least 10-20mph too low, all very unreasonable.

Comment (7/2002): Drivers be ware! On the 4-lane going to Fontana Lake. Watch out for the over passes, in both directions! There's marked and unmarked almost everyday.

Comment (7/2002): I got nailed there as well. He was on the bridge just past a hillcreast on a downhill left hand turn.

Comment (9/2002): Drivers beware!!! I dont have my license yet, but a bike and I get pulled for riding my bike to fast! HONEST! This is a money grubbing county with nothing better to do than harass everyone ESPECIALLY LOCAL KIDS!
