I tried Brazil. Got 79h going East to West from Recife to Cruzeiro do Sul and 90h going South to North from Chuí to Oiapoque. Granted, our roads aren’t the best but you’re still looking at over 5000km of travel either way.
My question is how much of that is highway travel and/or straight? In the Texas map most of that travel will be highways at 80mph. I know Germany has the autobahn but living in Colombia has made me suspicious of long travel times which actually have short distances traveled since this country is very mountainous and I don’t think a straight road exists here.
In addition to the other comment about it being a single state within the US, we’re also talking about roughly 1500-1600 kilometers in the Texas map. It would mostly be 70-75mph (120kph) highways the whole way.
Yes, those are countries, not single states within a country. Different things.
edit: ya’ll are acting so fucking weird in this comment thread. Jesus Christ I don’t even give a shit about the size of America or the US/EU pissing contest, I was merely and correctly pointing out the non-equivalence of the items being compared. Holy shit get a fucking life if you give two shits about the topic itself, goddamn. The hate boner some of you have for one country or another to the point of spite downvoting and intentionally misinterpreting shit is fucking ridiculous.
Btw you can do it also in Germany more or less.
I believe it’s possible also in France .
Edit: don’t want to insult anyone, I was just curious, nothing else.
For comparison, Bellingham, WA to Key West, FL. Same country, 2 days without stops.

That’s a long ass road trip, thanks for sharing. I was trying to get directions from Alaska to southern Argentina but Google said nope
You can’t drive from north to south america! Look up Darien Gap

1/3 to 1/2 of the Texas trip will be interstate highways. The rest is mixed bag of divided highways with at grade crossings and two lane highways.
Texas will still make their back roads 80mph lmao, even with grade crossings

You’re comparing an entire country to the US’ 2nd largest state of fifty, though.
As stated in other comments I don’t care about dimensions, I wanted to share just a trivia and not spark a dumb contest (spoiler, it did not work)

You guys have funny gatekeeping. Oh well, to each his own, I guess
You guys get to make fun of the imperial system, and healthcare, and fahrenheit, and gun crime. Let us have one thing.
Fair enough
