There is a long, straight section of Route 46 near the city of Fargo in North Dakota. For 121 miles (194 kilometres), the road stretches arrow straight towards the horizon. There are no bends and no corners. And although it follows the contours of the land upon which it was built, there is no appreciable gradient up or down along its entire length.
