[quote=spdrun]…I don’t see the 2-lane feeder roads as being much different than the non-freeway portions of 74/76/78 east of Fallbrook and San Juan Capistrano — it’s just a matter of what you’re used to I guess.[/quote]
These roads were from small towns as far away as Frederick County. They are considered “bdrm communities” to DC and the traffic volume on them is astounding! I’ve been on the (CA) SR-76 thru the avocado groves a few times and there is no way there are as many commuters/drivers on this road as there is in rural/semi-rural MD.
SR-78 is a 4-6 lane route and is a major fwy here. It is NOT a winding country road.
