I’m back in the hills too but we have a lot of backroads to everywhere but only the locals know about them or where they go. :-) I hope the light works for you. Around here, they don’t invest in a light until half a dozen people are killed in a short period of time.
Yeah, some local politician was killed there a year or so ago and there had previously been a couple of wrecks that required life flights.
This 4 lane is one of those cross state corridors that Byrd had built a while back. (still not completed) The only way I can avoid crossing it at grade when going to town is if I take a run on the River Rd.....if it’s not underwater. Unpaved and narrow, the local kids race on it all the time either with cars, 4x4s, side by sides and/or dirt bikes. LOL
