Fun, probably. But legal?

That was one of the reasons for building the interstate highway system.

It is why there are straight sections scattered throughout.

When I was in disaster preparedness in the USAF, in NH, in the event of a nuclear war, the plan was to launch our F111s to bomb missile silos in the Soviet Union.

Meanwhile we were to move everything up to a random straight section of I-95 in Maine.

Surviving air crews were to fly down the highway until they saw us and land.

The planes were to be refueled, repaired, and more bombs loaded.

Repeat until we ran out of planes or the war ended.

Yeah, that was the rationale Ike gave to get the funding. It may be half true.
