- Cars often cut corners or swing wide on the East Beacon curves.<\/li>
- There are two crossings over River Road where the speed limit is 40 mph. One is at a controlled light – that is good. The other is at a stop sign. Make sure the traffic is clear when crossing at the stop sign.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
