Surface, speed and traffic
Paved end to end. 77% of it is back road rather than highway, the other 23% state or US route. No posted speed limits are recorded for these roads. State traffic counts cover only 6% of these miles, too little to put a number on, which is itself a fair sign of how quiet they are.
