Great road you have driven

NC 12 is cool. Goes between the beaches and the villages on the Outer Banks.

MA 6A is also cool, especially in Provincetown when it gets right up along Cape Cod Bay.

Having just returned from an Alaskan vacation, I'll say the Seward Highway from Potter Marsh south to Seward.  Not only was the pavement in good shape, but the scenery was amazing.  No accidents and no construction going on to delay the drive time, so I evidently got lucky in that aspect.

One that I always thought was criminally underrated in North Carolina was NC 28.  US 129 being so close by definitely steals a ton of the spotlight.

Yes yes yes to NC-28-especially right there by the Fontana Dam.


I've done the Skyline Drive-Blue Ridge Parkway-Smoky Mountains Parkway as one single drive (well, over a 2 day span anyway) and they are spectacular.


Lake Shore Drive, southbound from Rogers Park into the city with the downtown buildings spread out in front of you is stunning on a clear morning with the Sun coming up over Lake Michigan.


+1 to RobbieL2415 for NC-12, too.


Various mountain Interstates that I have mentioned before in the favorite Interstate thread, too.


Oh and NY-9A in NYC (and I know that people from there will think I am absolutely nuts due to the traffic) is gorgeous, too.


I guess I am biasing my comments more towards great views which I am not sure if that's exactly what the OP was looking for but for me that's what makes a road great, as well as other things like challenging to drive (etc).

That's another good one. The buildings one side and the lake on the other. Lake Michigan is so big that it looks like an ocean.

US 16A near Rushmore.

US 16A near Rushmore.

US 14A and SD 87 are pretty up there too.

I-376 east of I-79 through Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The experience of exiting the Fort Pitt Tunnel is well-known and well-documented. The city pops out of nowhere. The highway east of downtown runs along the Monongahela River and many bridges can be seen. It then goes through the Squirrel Hill Tunnel. It's a spectacular drive.

Perfect timing!
I had the privilege of driving US 16A and SD 87 (Needles Highway) just a few days ago.

According to the thread title, we can only pick one road, and I'd have to give US 16A the edge, not because of better scenery per se, but because of the many tunnels and stunning surprise views of Rushmore.

Lake Michigan is so big that it looks like an ocean.

Same goes for all the Great Lakes; Ontario and Superior  even more so than Michigan.
