Min. score

Thins the map to the best stretches for the current ranking. Starts at about the top 250; resets when the reference, weights or area change.

Min. stretch length

Max. buildings near road

Houses within 60 m, per km (OSM + Microsoft footprints). ~5 is remote, ~15 rural with homes, 30+ built up.

Roads tagged residential

OSM's old TIGER import tagged many rural back roads “residential”, so the tag alone isn't trusted. “Remote and paved”: ≤ 5 buildings/km and a surface tag (or state data) saying paved, because remote ones without are often logging roads.

Include unpaved roads Include unnamed roads of unknown surface (often logging roads in the north woods) Include toll roads Include private or unmaintained roads (from state road data: private, NH Class VI, VT Class 4, or not on Maine's public-road list; toll roads always kept)

Max. traffic

Average daily traffic from state counts (NH, ME, MA, NY; real counts only, not modelled defaults). Roads without a count always pass.
