The Virtues of Avoiding Interstates

Many connoisseurs of the highway are championing the use of slow roads — back roads with scenery and history — instead of faceless Interstates, according to the New York Times. The idea emphasizes savoring local detail and culture.

“Taking the slow road is the best way to taste and feel the country, to use all your senses,” said Michael Wallis, author of “The Lincoln Highway: Coast to Coast from Times Square to the Golden Gate,” with photographs by Michael S. Williamson. (W. W. Norton, 2007) .
