I remember that drive across the middle of the USA. It's just a long stretch of farms and the most exciting thing is seeing what sort of food options the next exit has and hoping one of them is Taco Bell.
I remember reading somewhere that those roads could have been 100% straight lines but they put curves in them intentionally in order to keep people awake. I have no idea if this is true but it's interesting. There certainly was no geographical reason for it to be a winding road.

I've actually heard that the autobahn in Europe is much safer than the expressways in the US because of all the turns. Even though the speeds are much higher. So there is definitely something to that!
