The 🛤️ Lost Highway tag is used for videos and segments that feature roads, alignments, or highways that have been abandoned, decommissioned, or significantly altered to the point that they no longer exist in their original form. These routes may now be ghost roads, repurposed as local streets, or completely erased from the landscape by development or nature.

Often overshadowed by modern infrastructure, these lost highways represent a bygone era of travel—old alignments that were once vital connectors, now bypassed, submerged, or reclaimed by the environment. Some still have visible traces like cracked pavement, faded signage, or bridge remnants, while others live on only through documentation and memory.

This tag serves as a historical archive for viewers interested in transportation history, showcasing the evolution of America’s road network and the places that have been quite literally left behind. It’s about honoring the legacy of travel—even where the road no longer leads.
