Country road.

This was once THE road along this stretch of Iceland, but I don't think it's much used any more.

Bush Highway (no relation to any president) east of Scottsdale, heading toward Saguaro Lake. Goldfield Mtns in the background.

Your second image is superb! First one ain't bad either, but the second calls to me

Nice capture, and I can't help but grin at the MGB on the road.

It's a long walk back if anyone breaks down on there!

...and no shoulder to pull over onto

. But there are several police/highway patrol checkpoints along the way.

We drove along a roadway somewhere inland in Alabama/Louisiana that was elevated on pillars causeway-like a substantial distance above ground that apparently is prone to flooding (no water when we drove it). Must have taken 30~45 minutes to do the whole of it with no place to pull off or turn off, no sign of buildings or roads on the ground below as l recall. It was ramrod straight. I'd almost trust a self-driving car on it. Sorry I cannot remember the name of the highway. We were there back in the 90's (film-era, remember that time?).

I drove Monstro and his big brothers across that bridge a number of times. If I recall correctly there are a few sections of the original bridge adjacent to it and people drive out on them to fish.

I've been across that one too.

Actually, in the swamp states there are a lot of causeway bridge highways. Some are US or state routes, and others on interstates. I-10 in Alabama and Louisiana. I-65 across Mifflin Lake in Alabama.Much of I-50 between Memphis and Little Rock is elevated. I-20 from just West of Vicksburg, MS to Monroe, LA has a long elevated stretch too.

The Chesapeake Bay Bridge/Tunnel, US-13, 23 miles long.

Then there is US-1 through the Florida Keys.

Been to the zero milepost of Rt 1 at Key West, Across the Chesy Bridge several times (for me the most impressive such structure I've been on). I think it was I-10 in Alabama that I described above, the highway number stirs some dusty file in my head (actually, all the files there are dusty). After we'd been driving that road for 10 minutes or so, I was looking for someplace to stop and take pictures, but as noted, there aren't any, and as best I could see no place to double back from the first exit ahead and drive up near from below. Unexpectedly long uninhabited area.

Longer than my whole commute to work, even by a couple of slightly longer routes, and I cross two named rivers, including the Thames, through 7 towns and villages and past two others that are all on one side of the road. And a whole bunch of farms, which results in farmers driving on the road. I think I prefer my scenery to yours.
