Quiet paved roads across 17 states
Plan a route. Pick two points, then slide from more direct to more solitude.
Tap a blue road to set your start.
Now trade. Pick two points, then slide from more direct to more solitude. Some pairs have only one road; the line will not move.
Where a comparable way exists, take the one that carries an official byway designation or runs through more landform. Not a rating — each road shows its own sources.
Out here the network is close to a tree. On a great many pairs there is exactly one road between two points, and the slider will not move the line. Where a second way exists, it moves.
