Even secondary roads are a good way to travel to see more typical American lifestyle. The United States has a very good system of streets and highways, including the huge Interstate highway system that includes modern limited-access expressways (also called freeways) throughout the country. Because of the sheer size of the United States and the American preference to the automobile over mass transit, traveling by car is a good way to get around and to see sights of the 'real' America away from the cities. Especially in the bigger cities, it is not necessary, nor even desirable, to have your own vehicle - although many of even the larger cities do not have good public transportation. Many visitors to the United States go to typical tourist areas like New York, Washington DC, Orlando, Chicago, Las Vegas, San Francisco, and Los Angeles.
