Looks like a list of America’s most beautiful highways in the Western United States.
You want scary?
- Try Cleveland’s deadman’s curve during rush hour.
- Or driving home through the South Bronx and the burning cars on I95 at 10 pm.
- Or Boston’s Big Dig tunnels. ‘Nuff said.
- Or I4 thru Orlando with its mix of elderly, confused tourists and uninsured illegals
- The daunting Springfield interchange on the south side of Washington DC
The Mixing Bowl in Springfield isn’t as bad as it used to be since they re-did it, but before that...yeah. The highway engineer that designed that monstrosity needed to be strung up.
I’ll add another—US 129 south out of Alcoa, TN through the Nantahala National Forest down to where it meets US 19/74 in North Carolina. The views are spectacular and the road is terrifying, not least because of the sheer number of bikes and sports cars that try to drive it like it’s the Nurburgring. There’s a reason they call the stretch near the TN/NC border the “Tail of the Dragon”...try 318 curves in an 11-mile stretch.
