Special Memorial Day Greetings to Those Observing the Holiday
America's Quietest Routes
Today's site from the commercial firm GeoTab offers their analysis of America's
byways to arrive at those with the most modest traffic levels. Gentle
Subscribers not anxious to resume the stress of their typical daily commute may
revel in thoughts of planning to make their next vacation a quiet and relaxing
American road trip.
"What’s the least-traveled route in America? ... Find the quietest routes in
your state ... we gathered the latest available (2015) traffic count data from
the Highway Performance Monitoring System. Quietness was calculated as the
annual average daily traffic ... and routes with the lowest AADT in each state
were deemed the quietest." - from the website
This splendid presentation takes advantage of the US hinterland to display the
country's wonderful scenery in such a way as to make it most enjoyable.
Focusing on the less traveled of America's roads, the site provides information
on those in each state which meet the criteria of quiet and lightly trafficked.
Beckoning photos feature some of the most visually stunning scenery in the
country along quietly traveled roads. To help narrow the possibilities, the
presentation zeros in on the Top Ten Most Scenic, Quiet Routes beginning with
the breathtaking vistas of Alaska's Dalton Highway and moving to the Lower 48
States with specific routes through Utah, Maine, and Arizona. Each state has
its carefully analyzed route so that no matter which state is home, the best
way of seeing it has been carefully determined.
