Surface, speed and traffic
Paved end to end. 82% of it is back road rather than highway, the other 18% state or US route. Posted speeds run to 25 mph, typically 25, measured across 7% of the route. State traffic counts cover only 4% of these miles, too little to put a number on, which is itself a fair sign of how quiet they are.
