How does anyone get around at night.....are there alot of accidents like falling off the side of the road or hitting a tree???? Which counties are in the dark????
There are a lot of curvy two lane mountain roads throughout WNC, most of which will be unlit at night. This is for the most part a very rural area, outside of Asheville and Hendersonville.
Bwahahahahaha!!!! This may just be the most absurd, most funny, side splitting post I have read in all my years of using the interweb. Oh god, I can't stop laughing. THere are a million and one jokes here...
-Lol, are you blonde?!?!
-You see, on the front of your car are these things, usually round, called lights....
and on, and on, and on... I really hope you just worded your post badly. Either way you have slam tickled me to death tonight. Thanks for the chuckles.
I can understand why this would be a concern. You have to consider, for example, that members of our older generations may not have the vision they once had and their concern over dark, curvy roads.
Yes, it is true that there are many roads with no lights. Much of the Interstate highways are dark. The closer into town (any town), the more street lights you will have.
Car wrecks can occur anytime, anywhere, and under any conditions. The most important aspect is driver safety. If you're unfamiliar with a new road, don't drive fast on it at night. There are many unmarked curves that will take even experienced mountain drivers by surprise. Learn the roads you'll use most often during the day so you'll know what to anticipate should you have to drive at night. If you feel that you're jeopardizing your safety or the safety of others by driving at night, don't risk it.
It would cost a fortune to light all of NC's roads. North Carolina has the second-largest state-maintained road system in the nation, incorporating over 78,000 miles of highways.
Primary highways: 14,705 miles
Interstate – 1,019
Interstate Business – 66
U.S. Routes – 5,534
N.C. Routes – 8,086
Secondary roads: 63,910 miles
By the light of the moon... NC is very, very dark at night. Turn off your headlights and you can't see a thing... God Bless Thomas Edison and MR. Ford for hooking up!

Every county gets dark at night:
On the front of your car are some lights that were installed in the factory, their purpose is to help you see where you are going when it is dark outside.
Dark starry nights are beautiful, but sadly some people seem to want every single foot of land lit at night at, which also produces tons and tons and tons of pollution to produce and wastes energy. How many people can actually see the Milky Way where they live anymore. How many people even know what I am talking about and have never seen the Milky Way, except in the pages of a magazine.
This is by far the silliest thread I have ever read on these boards. You want lighted streets? Live in NYC or Lost Angles! I prefer dark, dark nights where I can see the sky. I love quiet places where I don't hear cars and airplanes, but just birds and crickets and cicadas and the occasional wild animal.

Get that Life-watch thing. "Help! I drove off the side of the road and i can't get up!"
