Caution, slow down in all areas. The difference in 5mph going to and from any location can mean the difference in life, death or injury.

You just can’t unfix an accident if you’re the cause of such.
Drive defensively at all times…the other party is not doing so!

Thank you Regina for remembering Alan. It has been 10 years, seems like yesterday.

I agree whole heartedly. Although its much better after being pave years back, its still a nightmare. I used it when the bridge on Athur Brown was out and always went very slowly. Those turns are sharp with poor warnings. Even when youknow the road, one moment of in attention (say a sneeze) at the wrong moment and you missed a turn. Glad no one was hurt this time.

I agree. LINES and LIGHTS. I almost failed to negotiate that 90 degree curve more than one night. It is a VERY dangerous road at night. VERY dangerous! ! ! I quit using it at night a long time ago. Treacherous ! ! !

I agree highway 97 or Atmore cutoff needs more lights on the road it is very dark threw there which makes it dangerous

My son was killed on one of those 90 degree curves. He was knocked out by the air bag and drowned in a cat fish pond. The county put up speed limit and curve signs. However it is still dark on this road. How about putting up lights on all the curves, maybe it will save a life.

How about getting more lights on that road and actually putting lines. I haven’t been down that road in a while but that road is horrible! That road claimed the life of a very dear friend a few years ago.
