The enforcement has been pretty lax up there recently, at least in my experience. You've also can take it to Blue Ridge, which is a bit of a hike, but a great drive with almost no enforcement.

As for this drive, I'm going to try and make it. It's a bit of a hike, but we will see how busy I am.

Well, regardless of LEO presence, it's just not a good place to speed. Lots of scenic overlooks and tourists.

Agreed. A 40mph cruise is pretty safe, but also doesn't feel like you're crawling because of the nature of the road. The far southern section is a lot better for drives, but unfortunately a lot farther away.

The guys from Top Gear went on Blue Ridge, but they said it was boring because the speed limit was 35. They also went to Capitol Raceway in that same episode. I believe they were here this past fall.

BR's speed limits range from 35-55mph, depending on where you're at. The section near the end of skyline is 50mph IIRC.

Blueridge is 45. And it's actually fun when you drive faster! ;-)
