Welcome to the Roadscapes Wednesday segment! Each week here on Geek Alabama, Roadscapes Wednesday will feature roads and infrastructure related topics. Geek Alabama Editor / Publisher Nathan Young is often called the “road geek” for a good reason, Nathan loves roads and loves talking about roads!

We also look at a few impressive honourable mentions, including U.S. Route 412 in Oklahoma, North Dakota Highway 46, and Interstate 80 across Utah’s Bonneville Salt Flats.
