Paved, gravel, city street, busy, one lane, two lane, four lane, or just ruts in the grass?

I'm on a gravel road, and wish there was even less traffic.

Looks like this

Gravel! Sadly, when the wind is from the north.....you can hear semi’s on the paved road. A plus....90+ miles to the nearest interstate and a Wal-Mart, over 150 miles to a large (60 K people) City. It ain’t perfect.....but, “beats the hell” out of living in/ near a large city! memtb

Paved, dead end street, not much traffic.

I'm 1/2 mile from a paved road. Gravel driveway leading to my house......mine, and it's up to me to maintain it. That's okay, gives me privacy. Nearest neighbor is 1/2 mile as well.

Grew up on a dirt lane in P.G. County, MD within hearing distance of Byrd Stadium (U of MD). Adelphi Road, the intersecting county road was gravel. Last time I was in the are, about 2000, it was four lanes, at least.

My first house backed up to a two-lane state highway, but they widened it within a year, taking a chunk off the back of my lot in the process. Traffic will fill a void, and it did. Learned my lesson there.

This place is in a development, but in the interior section buffered by a row of acre+ lots in the front, and two in the rear. The intersecting county roads adjoining are crowned wagon roads that only get limited local traffic. I can hear traveling cars on the one, but usually not the other. I think I'm good here for the (my) duration. Impact fees and distance from the city have slowed development down. Not much work in this area that will support single-family housing; nearly everyone here commutes like I did. A pretty fair percentage are retired or almost there.

Paved now, used to be just walrus jacketed. Carries a fair amount of traffic, much of it because it leads to the road that goes through the underpass, which allows folks to avoid sitting and watching the UP crawl by.

This pic is standing in the county road that dead end's at the ranch, looking up the driveway.

Driveway is pretty long too. I don't get many "accidental" traffic.

Gravel.

A "township maintained" rutted out gravel goat path. It's hard on my vehicle, but then again, it discourages use by outsiders.

Paved, rougher than a night in jail, no lines, people drive about 75mph on it.

Gravel and 2 miles long which dead end. Some days no cars and some days a couple. Love it. Ed k

3/8 mile gravel drive which connects to a 1/2 mile gravel private dead end road with 5 other residents along the way

Quarter mile + of private gravel dead ends at my place. The gravel county road it branches off of is half mile long and dead ends at my brothers place. 4 miles into a town of 3k+/-, 10 miles to the next town of about the same size. 14 miles the other way is the big city, 10k pop.

About 1895 miles long and a mile wide in front of the lodge. Wet in the summer and slippery in the winter.

Paved cul-de-sac 50 yards from a mile of "my" city owned hunting woods and a quarter mile from where I wouldn't have city sewer, water and services.

Major highway Lots of traffic. Think i could throw a stone and hit the local high school.

Dirt road that ends in my garage.




My deck looks over Hwy 12 which parallels the river. It has some traffic (mostly log trucks} at certain times of the day but I tolerate it.

Major highway Lots of traffic. Think i could throw a stone and hit the local high school.

Paved one lane loop off the two lane county road.
