State Highways 19/74 near Hwy 141 near Marble Crossing
Fifteen mile stretch of contolled access 4 lane with wide medium, rural area. Posted 55mph. Similar stretches 65 mph (Bryson City). Constantly patrolled, high revenue source for Murphy/Cherokee County. State Patrol often approaching from opposite lane, without verification of reading. By my own unofficial count, cited patrol 87 of the last 100 times I transversed this 15 mile section. Constantly see stopped cars, most from out of state. Locals know the situation and avoid.

Just to correct original alert:
The roads are US 19/74 near NC 141. The posted speed limit on US 19/74 is 60 mph from west of Andrews to east of Murphy. NC Highway Patrol station is near, so marked and unmarked patrol cars frequently cruise this area. Locals know some new HP graduates train on these roads.
