Anything between the Appalachians and the Atlantic ocean, and everything between the Appalachians and the Rockies.

I-16 from Macon Ga to Savannah Ga. Boring as hell



This was mine. Boring is usually good on interstates IMO, but this one in particular just sucks. For example, most of 85 from west GA to Montgomery is boring, but it's fine. 16 just drags and there is nothing to break up the monotony

I was coming to post this. It’s 3 hours of nothing but trees off the side of the road.




Yeah, a few years back I used to operate a locked wheel friction tester and had to test all the interstates in Georgia along with the state routes. 3 separate times I had to drive that entire road at 40mph, both directions. Just imagine the joy that was

I-85 up through North Carolina and Virginia sucks balls. Plus, you run into the speed traps at South Hill.

55 from Jackson to Memphis is pretty terrible


Came here to post this. 55 through Mississippi north of Jackson to Tennessee is just a 3 hour long barren wasteland.

Whatever the one is that bisects Kansas from East to west heading to Denver.

Awful.

I65 from Mobile up fricking sucks


Yeah, that was my thought as well. I'll take I-59 and I-20 to Atlanta just to avoid it. It's worth the extra 20 minutes. I-65 will give you a whole new appreciation for Laurel and Meridian.

So you drove around for 5+ hours just dragging a stuck wheel along the pavement? Were you really bad in a past life or something?

Yep. Passed going up 2 days ago for a medical matter, and heading back now. Not much services north of Jackson.

Getting on to 49 south in Shreveport after 3+ hours of the Mad Max bull shite people try to pull between there and Dallas is such a nice change of pace. Give me boring interstate driving any day.


Use to fish Lake Fork a lot back in the 90's and early 2000s. Pulling a Bass Boat on 1-20 to and from Tyler always sucked... Hitting 49 was a blessing..
