road miles
Driven journey length
Road miles measure the actual distance traveled along roads between two points, as opposed to straight-line or "as the crow flies" distance.
The distinction matters for trip planning, shipping costs, and fuel estimates: It's only fifty miles away, but it's closer to seventy road miles with all the mountain switchbacks.
