U.S. Route 19
I am a West Virginia native who now lives in South Carolina. I used to live close to Summersville and had to drive through it often. The speed enforcement in Summersville is unrealistic, overbearing, and more concerned with generating revenue than improving safety. My advice to anyone going through Summersville via U.S. Route 19 would be to drive about 45 MPH in the 50 MPH zone. It’s only about 3 miles long, so it goes by quickly. The local Barney Fifes dearly love out-of-staters, especially the Canadians. It really makes my blood boil to think these overbearing cops are giving people the wrong impression of West Virginia, which is a state beautiful in landscape, heritage, and culture.
