If you landed here from Interstate411.us or RealRoads.tv, you’re in the right place. We rebuilt the site to make it faster, cleaner, and easier to browse whether you’re chasing a specific highway, planning a trip, or just daydreaming your way down the map.
What’s new
-
Smarter browsing. Posts now carry location tags (city, state) and route details so you can follow a thread across interstates, US routes, and scenic byways.
-
Cleaner cards, consistent visuals. Thumbnails, tag badges, read time, and hover states match across sections for a calmer scroll.
-
A focused Community area. Instead of hosting forums, we’re leaning into stories, photos, and social—where road fans already hang out.
What stayed the same
-
The videos. You’ll still find long, unhurried POV drives with minimal chatter and clear titles.
-
The mission. Small towns, everyday highways, and the rhythms between them—documented as they are.
-
The routes & research. You’ll keep seeing the obscure alignments, connectors, and county-line quirks we’ve always loved.
About the domains (so this makes sense)
You might see the site as Interstate411.us or RealRoads.tv—that’s fine. Behind the scenes, the canonical home for search engines is OpenRoadArchive.com. For you, links will keep using the domain you came in on; for search/AI, ORA is the “official” address.
Follow along (and jump in)
-
From the Road: bite-size photo posts and dispatches.
-
YouTube + Bluesky/Twitter: quick shares when new routes go live.
-
Supporters Wall: if you’re a member and opted-in, your badge appears there.
Note: YouTube channel memberships and site memberships are separate systems with similar perks but no automatic linkage.

Thanks for riding along—and for all the tips, corrections, and “you missed that gravel shortcut” messages over the years. See you on the next stretch.
PS: Can’t find a video? More than likely we are still adding it. At the time of this writing, we have about 300 posts left to republish on this version of the site — our oldest videos. Rest assured, we are diligently adding them as fast as we can.
