Default Rt 211 Over the Mountain

This road goes from Sperryville, up past the entrance to Skyline Drive and down into Luray (and back again). It's great when there is no traffic; very late on a moonlit night. But watch out for the blind turns and deer lurking in the roadway, and for semi-experienced motorcyclists who don't know their limitations. Remarkably, the State has decided to install rumble strips leading into some of the hardest turns. Apparently some bureaucrat believes this is a good way to warn people that they need to slow down for these turns. It seems that the last thing you would want to do to a vehicle (especially a motorcycle) already driving near the limit going into a hard turn is to upset the vehicle's balance by throwing rumble strips into its path. I expect that this will increase the number of fatalities on this road.
