Speed limit mostly 75 and the road is as smooth as you can find in this shithole state
It may be smoother than most roads in LA, but it’s not what I’d call smooth. A patchwork of concrete here, asphalt there.
Whoever cleared the right of way for it must have hired a bunch of drunk pipeline construction rejects.

But I have to hit 190 before getting on 49 and my kidneys are so beaten to death I’m pissing blood.
Bingo!

I actually prefer trees and greenery along the route versus wide open brown plains. Occasionally see some wildlife grazing on the shoulders

Driving from Dallas to Houma to visit family is brutal when I hit this 200 mile stretch of nothingness
To me the worst part of that drive is I-20 between Shreveport and Buccees in Terrell.

French Mkt gas station on the east side of the big road is legit.
We used to make the drive from Shreveport to Huntsville a few times a year. The longest section seemed like the area between Meridian and Tuscaloosa on 1-20. Just nothing at all.

The jarring lack of Gordon, Morris and Dudley billboards and plethora of pine trees and rolling hills certainly has something to do with it.
LA designated it as a parkway. It's no Natchez Trace but it's certainly unique in LA. Hopefully it stays that way for a while. Per state statute-

I-80 west of SLC to West Wendover NV is way worse.
This is actually officially the longest stretch without an exit of any kind too.
