Five highways you DON’T want to drive

- FL-A1A (also been on this one a few times)

There aren't too many roads where you can see folks legally walk around with minimal clothing, but hey...(swim)suit yourself.

My original answer for this was roads I don't want to drive for the first time.  If it's just any road I don't want to drive ever again if I have the choice:

1) I-270 in Denver
2) I-70 from Denver to St. Louis
3) I-4
4) I-75 from Atlanta to Lake City
5) I-10 in Florida

Interboro / JRP in New York. Why do expressways in NYC get slammed through cemeteries? Why would I want to drive a road that mostly traverses a cemetery? I've done it, and I've clinched it, and I never want to see it again.

The Interboro/Jackie Robinson Parkway isn't an expressway it's a parkway. And seriously is it really that big of a deal that it goes through a cemetary?

Cemeteries make for compressed roads (it's impossible to expand the JRP right now). Compressed roads means narrow lanes, and in the case of the JRP - very narrow lanes which are unpleasant. Also, a cemetery is the least scenic thing that a parkway should run through.

Not all cemeteries lead to compressed roads.  Weird absolutist association going on there.

Many cemeteries in large cities also double as arboretums. Lived for years next to the largest cemetery (and arboretum) in Cincinnati, which has been open to walkers, hikers, and cyclists for over a hundred years. It was great for my property values and the neighbors were quiet

I also don't get the... disdain for cemeteries either.

Hell, the only reason I want to visit Austin ever again is to drive TX 165 through the Texas State Cemetery.

I can't wait until the next time I drive down Woodward and have Woodlawn and Evergreen Cemeteries next to me. After I do that I'm going to drive down Mt. Elliott so I can drive next to Mt. Elliott and Elmwood Cemeteries. Then if I have time maybe I can swing out to Woodmere Cemetery off of Fort Street.
