It is a quieter Highway, but it runs through some pretty cool places, and people are more likely to stop. There is a service station, right across from the Airport, at the corner of the Highway and Bannon Ave SW. Some people have had trouble with the Service Station in the past, but if you are respectful, keep it clean, and Don't take up to much space, you shouldn't have any trouble. There is a City bus stop near by (Bus Route 22).
