Twisty

I take Route 1 every day and parts of it are pretty twisty. It's mostly a divided highway but the term highway makes it sound as though the speed limit would be 55 or 65 MPH and that's not the case. If you've driven on the MO side of Kansas City, just think of 71 Highway with all the really short on ramps and lots of businesses lined up on either side of the road--that's what Route 1 is like.

I'm used to seeing upcoming exits announced as being 1 mile away or 1/2 mile away or even 1/4 mile away. But some of these are announced in feet. One exit is 700 feet away and the other is just 400 feet away. Crazy, huh.
