Wait... there is a toll booth on there?!?!?!
Just be aware that the shoulders are pretty narrow, and you've got people coming from all over to drive the road like idiots... Blind corners... and BICYCLES!!
It probably has more bikes than cars go down it over a given year... and yes, some end up fatalities.
And it isn't just bicyclists, I'm come around blind corners and smack dab on the butt of a parade of Harleys tooling along at 10mph !
enjoy, but take care.

Watch out for the semis on the Dragon, too...
They can barely squeeze through some of the turns, and use up both lanes on most of them. Also watch out for the crotchrockets whizzing past you at double the speed limit...and yes, they will pass you illegally. As Skyman said...many a biker has paid their dues on the "Tree of Shame".
