Description
Going up and down Mountain Gap at the curves, is getting very dangerous. If your going up Mt. Gap from the parkways, car will get over and try to run you off the road into the ditch, cause there's not an edge and I've had 2 flat tires from being pushed off the pavement. They are trying to avoid the metal railing on the other side if your coming down Mt. Gap towards the parkway. The metal railing has been it so many times, its all bent up and it causes the cars to go over onto the line of the road and it pushes the cars half off the road. This has been like this for years and nothing has ever been done to fix anything. Cars and trucks are always flying up and down the road. Its just a matter of time before there's a really bad accident. Please get this fixed

You're saying there's 2 problems?
1. The metal guard/rail on the north side of the road needs to be repaired?
2. When westbound traffic tries to avoid the metal rail, they cross the center line, forcing eastbound traffic into the ditch because there's no shoulder?

YES I agree. on the eastbound side of Mt Gap Road especially (the direction of MT Gap headed towards Bailey Cove) there is little to NO shoulder AT ALL. Not hardly even enough pavement to draw the line on for the edge of the road. This begins at the big hill and sharp curve just before Stonemark subdivision and continues past Brandywine and ends around 707 Mt Gap Road. I wlll try to get some pictures today. THIS is a REAL problem.
ALSO people are CONSTANTLY driving 45-55 or more in this area of sharp curves with no police presence in this area to monitor it and several wrecks have already occurred in the area of 705-707 Mt Gap road.
