Restricted usage or private roads meaning
Guys, I'm planning a weekend ride to Carthage, NC (from Charlotte). On all of the routes to the destination, Google maps says, "This route has restricted usage or private roads."
I find it odd that all 3 routes have restrictions. Any ideas how I can find if this is legitimate or not?
Thanks,

Do you live in a gated/restricted community? Is your destination address in a gated/restricted community?
What roads are you showing as restricted? When I have seen it in the past, it usually meant government land, like national parks, military bases, or something like that.

Goose, I just put in Carthage but no destination address. I figured once I get there, I'll just explore. It just seems odd that every route that I picked, which shows different ways of getting there, showed the same message.
Could it be because of Uwharrie National Forest?
Thanks!

Uwharrie has vehicle restricted roads, 4wd only, off road vehicle, etc. But most of it is accessible

Go on Google Earth and actually look at the road see what it looks like. Or change the Google Maps to satellite and you can actually look at the road.

However, NC24 is a Scenic Byway, so if a route was this, that could be the reason for the warning.
I do not know about US15.
Here is a site for the Scenic Byways in NC;
