Where are you going, and which roads?

What to type

Start and end. A town is enough ("Ashton MD to Poughkeepsie"), or a name from My places. Leave out the start, or say "from here", to start where you are.
Only the roads that matter, in order: "95 to the Turnpike to 17 in Mahwah, then the Thruway to 84." Google fills in the rest.
Nicknames are fine: "the Turnpike", "the Taconic", "Rt 9", "the GW".
Say what to avoid: "not through NYC", "no GW Bridge", "skip Philly".
Where you join or leave a road, if it matters: "get on 84 at Newburgh".

Stay out of express / HOT lanesAdds stops in the regular lanes where pricey express lanes run alongside (VA I-95, I-495, I-66, MD I-95, NC I-77).

My places

Give addresses short names ("home", "NY house") and use those names in your request.

Stops marked verified come from map data and sit in the middle of the highway lanes. Likely stops are intersections on the road you asked for. Rough stops are town names and may pull you off the road.
