You'd think they'd pave those things, sheeesh. And what's with the 15MPH speed limit? Seriously, it was posted. But seriously, thanks for this post. I don't think we need any more speed limit signs in the wilderness.

Given that seven miles is a comfortable walk, I don't think that makes Britain very remote. I don't know what the answer would be for the USA? I assume there are many more untouched areas. Something to be preserved - for definite. According to an Ordnance Survey study, the most remote part of Britain is 7 miles away from a tarmac road (not including tracks that allow vehicles).
