    I can't ever seem to find them...
    I thought there was something, but always see it as I am already going past. Don't go through much anymore.

    If I'm not mistaken, they all are located at an intersection where a light is.

    Oh dear. I hope I don't fall off or there's going to be free ice cream novelty bars available for anyone who can get to them before they melt

    Came through on my Harley Friday, New River bridge is under construction so the Montfort lane is all that's open on N B side. Good road, hit it and enjoy.

    Both are in Mt Nebo on the northbound side yes. U Save Travel Plaza has a ton of paved parking but store is pretty rough. It has a little restaurant inside but I haven't tried it. Up one light is the Go Mart also with quite a bit of parking but it's all gravel and cratered out. Awesome pizza and sandwich deli inside tho, this is where I usually go.

    I run 19 frequently heading to and from PA, never an issue. Just watch your speed going through the towns as others have said. Speed enforcement is their cash cow thanks to the abundance of out of state travelers

    A couple days late, but it's a good route I've used a lot. About the only thing I can add is a few of the traffic lights are at the bottom of hills. Especially when heavy, I usually slow before I even tell if the light is red or not. Eyeballing waiting cross traffic usually works, as they are almost all triggered by a loop for cross traffic not timers.
    LOL. I usually run 35-40 mph max thru the ones near the Walmart in Summersville. Out of the three signals, you can count on catching at least one red. Only time I've made it thru all three on green was in the middle of the night.
