Not sure what I expected but yeah, it's ~~definitely~~ very probably an 8 km road.

Definitely? I don't see citations for that claim.

Strictly speaking, that claim is not cited. But how do I cite a measurement? I'm too lazy to go into Google Earth and verify the measurement for myself, so I edited my comment 😆.

Haha I don't know how to reference it! But you seemed very sure for such a claim with no citation 😋

Sure, it's mentioned in the info box:

Route information Length: 5.0 mi (8.0 km)

Citation needed

This is a road I travel frequently. Seeing this posted really screwed with my mind for some reason 🤣

The feeling is so satisfying as you go up the A1 and just as traffic slows for the Western bypass, you stay right and suddenly you actually get moving again. Bliss
