Surface, speed and traffic
Paved end to end. 71% of it is back road rather than highway, the other 29% state or US route. Posted speeds run to 55 mph, typically 55, measured across 35% of the route. State traffic counts cover only 3% of these miles, too little to put a number on, which is itself a fair sign of how quiet they are.
