PA 308 begins at an intersection with PA 8 near the Clearview Mall in Center Township, Butler County, heading north on two-lane undivided West Sunbury Road. The road passes residential developments in the community of Windward Heights before heading into wooded areas with some farm fields and homes. The route passes over the Canadian National's Bessemer Subdivision railroad line and continues into agricultural areas with some woods and residences, crossing into Clay Township. PA 308 runs through more farmland and woodland with some homes, reaching an intersection with PA 138. At this point, PA 138 turns north to form a concurrency with PA 308 on Main Street, heading into the borough of West Sunbury. In this town, the road passes homes. Back into Clay Township, PA 138 splits from PA 308 by heading northeast onto North Washington Road. The route continues north on West Sunbury Road and runs through more woodland with some fields and homes. The road enters Cherry Township and continues through more rural areas, passing through Five Points, Moniteau, and Annandale.
