Several places spread over maybe 500 miles starting with the Mohave desert in California and going past Shiprock in New Mexico then back to the Monument Valley area around Four Corners (where Utah, Arizona, Colorado and New Mexico touch).

If you drove this route I think you'd see most of what they show but not in the exact order they showed it. You might have to go a little north off of that route when in Northern Arizona to pick up all the Monument Valley scenes.

By the way Easy Rider was released in 1969 which means they were probably filming it in 1968. You'll noticed the center striping is the old style before they switched to yellow dashed lines on two lane roads.

"By the way Easy Rider was released in 1969 which means they were probably filming it in 1968. You'll noticed the center striping is the old style before they switched to yellow dashed lines on two lane roads. "

Interesting you noticed that. Back some years ago there were no standards for much of anything from state to state. It must have been quite a challenge to drive from coast to coast back when our vehicles were new.

I can remember when Missouri changed the no passing yellow from the center of the lane to next to the center stripe. I recall when they changed hand signals. They used to not be standard from state to state. I can't recall who was preparing for their driving test when I was about 12 or so, but I do remember they had a sticky sheet covering the old signals with the new ones Missouri had adapted.

There are still quite a few differences in traffic laws from state to state, just not so obvious. Such as, in Texas, you can make a left to any lane, not just the left. Often catches out of state people in trouble making a right on red. If more than one person comes to a stop sign at the same time, the one on the right goes first. Most places. In Texas it's true at a 4 way, but with a 3 way, (like a "T") both straight through guys get to go before the guy on the other leg.

On a road you think that you can only pass on the left. In Texas, you can pass a car on either side, in his lane if the lane is of sufficient width. On little east coast roads that may never come up, but there are some spacious roads in Texas, so it makes more sense.

I wonder how many other things there are different from state to state?
