Visitor & Driver Tips
When approaching 421 8th Ave, keep a steady speed along local residential and light industrial stretches in Sutersville, as posted speed limits are strictly enforced. Large commercial vehicles and trucks should plan deliveries during early morning or mid-day hours to avoid occasional peak-shift traffic.
