The Blue Ridge Parkway is very scenic here in Virginia and is generally considered very safe with pretty low traffic most of the year.

"...Blue Ridge Parkway..."
Really nice roads to drive cars, pilot motorcycles, and pedal bicycles. This shooting is unfortunate news to hear.

People rage over driving but not the fact that the FBI knew about the Pulse Nightclub shooter that killed 49 people and refused to act nor the fact that they knew about the Parkland shooter that killed 17 and refused to act.
But the FBI acts on flakey information about a porn star.

It is very scenic. Roanoke is my home town.

Do you say that about every crime ?

Around Roanoke, people use the parkway to commute and not just sightsee. It can be a convenient shortcut. I can see someone getting pi$$ed at a slow driver. But not to the point of pulling a gun, of course.

Ive Harleyd The BRP. Quite beautiful.

The max speed limit on the Parkway is 45 mph.It's one of the great driver's roads. But speed limit is low. And it's enforced. And being a National Park, speeding is a Federal offense.

I drove about 100 miles of the Blue Ridge Parkway in Virginia and North Carolina last summer—very beautiful. I didn’t realize it was so dangerous. I may have seen a few speed demons going 50 or even 55 mph. Traffic was so light that at times I would go a mile or more without seeing another vehicle.
