Residential routes form the backbone of America’s communities, winding through neighborhoods, subdivisions, and small-town streets. These roads may not be part of the interstate system, but they offer an intimate look at the places people call home. Whether it’s tree-lined boulevards, quiet cul-de-sacs, or neighborhood connectors, residential highways and roads reveal the everyday rhythm of local life.
Many of these routes also serve light commercial traffic, linking homes to schools, corner stores, gas stations, and small business hubs. These stretches often blur the line between residential and commercial, acting as community lifelines where people work, shop, and socialize. The presence of low-volume commercial activity adds both utility and vibrancy to these corridors, making them essential for regional connectivity.
From suburban arterials to the main streets of small towns, the Residential tag covers videos and drives that highlight America’s more grounded and relatable roadways. While they may lack the drama of mountain switchbacks or coastal byways, these roads offer a sense of place that’s just as important. If you’re curious about how people live, commute, and connect in towns across the country, these routes are the perfect starting point.
