U.S. Hwy 70 through all of the Down East communities. There is a North Carolina State Trooper that is earning his paycheck. This route is a scenic route of the Carolina coast and there is communities from Beaufort to Atlantic (30+ miles of 2 lane road). The speeds change from 55 to 35 mph several times. The roads are full of curves and often their are no shoulders and the roads are surrounded by water. Don't get anxious after the 2 hour ferry ride. Obey the speed limit through these communities. North Carolina has several new troopers in this area and they are good at what they do.
