I have in a car. It used to be crazy, now it is really wide with 3 lanes on hills to pass trucks.

A lot of very fast turns with room to pass, as opposed to short/blind ones. A good thing as a lot of trucks use that corridor.

Not to be a bummer but I did that road about 14 years ago on my Harley. Went through a small town a a big group of riders (drunk) rode out in front do us at an intersection.

The flew by and apparently skipped through a red light at the next intersection....two trucks and 6-7 bikes met...3 fatalities.

Never felt completely safe riding on the road since. Gruesome.

Trailered my bike and haven't been back to Arkansas since.

Lived in Arkansas and have been down Hwy 7, very scenic and very nice ride. The road is easy to run at 30 to 40 mph over the speed limit but if you do get ready for the State Police to get you as the speed limit is 55 mph and they know where to hide.

Hwy 62 that goes thru Buffalo River State Park to Eureka Springs and over to Rogers Ark is a nice ride if the traffic is light. Especially Eureka to Rogers as you get some 15 and 20 MPH turns and a lot of twist and turns at slower speeds, 55 and 60 is exciting. There are some nice roads in the Ozarks.

I live near there and ride the roads often. 7 is OK by local standards but there are much better ones around. I'll send you some info in the next couple of days (I am traveling at the moment).
