Here in east Carolina I'm rediscovering the rural truck routes. East of I95 it's flat and lonely out here the roads just have to follow old property lines and swamps. Traffic is light and the weather is mild so roads hold up well.
The thing I find unique is these roads have been extremely well graded and the corners Cambered for high speeds. When I was young the speed limit was 70 on most of them. There are only a couple LEOs outside of the towns and they don't come out in these roads unless somebody is bleeding.
The terrain is usually a quarter to a mile straight leading to a high speed S or two.
A training ground for high speed cornering
The down side is you can bleed a long time before a farmer or a log truck drives by
