    The U2 metro line. No way in hell would I use the highway parallel to it in rush hour. There are many nicer parking spots than that highway.

    It’s outside the strictest bounds established by the question, but this time of year is 100% worth a trip on the Blue Ridge Parkway.

    When I lived in Silicon Valley in the late 90s, I used to commute on I-280 to Menlo Park. It was an absolute joy of a drive.

    There’s a reason it’s often called “The World’s Most Beautiful Freeway”.

    Living in Louisiana, the interstates are the only roads that are anything regularly maintained. So Ill pick them over any other road

    It is nowhere near me, but the seabridge north of Wollongong, the one that goes to Sydney via St Helens, is pretty awesome.

    But yeah, highways aren’t as fun as real roads, but are functional for getting from point A to point B without having to slow down for point C in the middle.

    If I just take the toll roads, they are completely empty, even at rush hour. It’s nice to have that option when I’m in a rush to just pay $3 and get to my destination on time instead of stressing out in traffic and possibly making poor decisions due to stress.

    Interstate 97 in Maryland, from Annapolis to Baltimore. It’s almost always running smoothly with a 65mph speed limit. It’s just a no-bullshit fast straight run every day. Scenery is ass but that’s Maryland.
