I had the road all to myself all day long!
This is the Blue Ridge Parkway, a limited access road where no commercial vehicles are allowed (no 18-wheelers! Woo Hoo!!!). I spent 10 hours going over 300 miles and never once had someone run up on my ass or found myself behind someone else. When I pulled over to take pictures or just gawk at the scenery I would occasionally see a car go by but not that often.
I saw more deer than other cars. It was wonderful.
Now, I'm sure in the summer there's more traffic but just keeping the trucks off and the fact that 'intersections' where you can get on and off the road only occur every 20 to 40 miles should keep it nice. I would love to do it again in better weather.
